EV>Howdy! Daryl,

Hi, Ed...

EV>I haven't had the desire try for the Amateur Extra ticket.

  That's your choice...there's only 250 kHz of spectrum you can't use.

EV>I've not operated my station for some time but I wanted to renew the
EV>license so I could get on the air if I wanted to.

  I'm on the air nearly every night of the week...unless thunderstorms
are in the area...as was the case last night. Intense lighting here, and
several reports of very large hail across the region.

EV>What I meant was to use a Program that lets You type on the computer and
EV>your rig sends CW for You.
EV>And connect the Rcvr Audio to the computer and let it read the CW for You.

  Well, with antenna prohibitions and quarterly apartment inspections
(if not more often), having RF gear is out of the question.

EV>Since You have the Amateur Extra License You could have CW QSO's on any
EV>part of any CW Band, and chat with Operators holding any Class of Ham
EV>Radio Operator License anywhere in the World.

  I'd have to use software though...I don't have the ear to decode it.
I'm usually a fairly good touch typist...becoming that way from running
a BBS for nearly 30 years now.

EV>I thought to look to see what Your message looked like in MultiMail v.50
EV>for Windows.
EV>It didn't look any different using MMWIN50 that it does in MMDOS49,
EV>but at least I tried to see if it looked any better in Multimail WIN.

  It showed up in the message base directly. I was able to enter it in
OLX, as I use the internal message editor. Notepad (used with MultiMail)
won't let you enter those characters.

EV>Would it help You if I grunted for You while You lifted the 15 Pound Signs
EV>? ? ??? ??? ? ?

  Don't worry about it...there are more important things in life. In
fact, I feel a nap coming on after I do the QWK Mail, before I do my 2
Sunday D-Star Nets.

Daryl
