Should you wish to brush up on your CW, or need a periodic 'CW Fix' like I do, you might like a regular CW roundtable. 80 meters works great in the morning for those of us who are retired in the QCWA Chapter 8 area. Speed to be that of the slowest op. If this tweaks your interest at all, please contact me Tom Steel, AAØHQ
