Ahhh ... the day for operators who
1) use a straight key once a year,
2) use CW once a year, or
3) are way too into the celebration to be using CW!

REM :
I remember one
year, my XYL & I were stranded in our big house that was on
pillars.
We 6' of water from the White River running under and
around us.
Just kept the
fire stoked and played straight key.

:
Howdy Doc and
the group,
Thanks Doc, very funny, great video from OH6DC.
I
would advise Tarzan to eat his "paddles" and replace them
with new ones before they turn brown.
Blackened and
mushy "paddles" would inevitably cause severe QSD and Jane
would copy zilch...
Thanks again Doc, merry Xmas down there, BCNU.
