GE Ed,

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

According to the information I have, CW (and other digital) signals are
allowed in any part of the bands assigned to radio amateurs, but phone
signals are not allowed in the band segments assigned to CW and digital
modes.

EV> I've always kept a written Log of my air time.

Me too!!

EV> Log when I used CW because one of my hands would already be busy
EV> sending so it would be hard (for me) to type into the Log if I had
EV> it on the computer.

By turning the Waters electronic keyer I found it quite easy to send
with my left hand, so when I built the "W7BBX Programmable keyer" I
equipped it with a second key (manipulator) connector for the other hand

EV> I could Log on the computer easier if I was on Voice, but CW would
EV> be a challenge.

We are not required to keep a log anymore (I do it anyway), but if we
use a log program it does the logging anyway.

 EV>The BandAid graphic is 5 $DB's (219), 5 $B0's (176) and 5 $DB's (219).

The Alt 219 comes out as █ and Alt 176 as ░ in the PC8 = ASCII 8 bit
character table.

If you want the # character you have to press Alt and 35 on the numeric
keyboard.

Any odd characters you want to use must be typed while pressing the right
(here), Alt key while entering the numbers on the numeric keyboard.

In Windows it doesn't seem to matter which Alt-key you use.
