Ha, ha!!! I bet those tube tables helped you pass, Bob! My favorite practice to maintain a decent fist on my bug is to send a page out of the phone book in TEST mode: addresses, phone numbers and all.
If I can make a whole page without a flub, I'm happy. If I can play back what I sent and find it easy copy, I'm even happier, Hi! I'm glad to know not all of us dinosaurs are extinct.

I was a 1952 Novice too. I remember working every day on my code, sturggling up to 13 wpm. The night before I took the bus into Seattle for the General test, I had a buddy send me some code practice for a final tune up. So, he launched into this string of stuff that made no sense to me at all. I had to ask him, what was he sending? Turns out he was sending the index to the tube tables in the back of the handbook! :-) Really had me going 'til I understood what was coming at me. Great days those were. 73, Bob N6WG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
