Gerry and Steve, when I got my ticket way back just before dirt was invented 
to get the ticket of coarse I had to pass the code.  I said to myself when I 
get that general ticket I was throwing my key in the garbage.  I got on 
phone for about six months and then got so bored with that I dug the key out 
of file 13 and went back to c w and for the most part I have stayed and if I 
had to give up either mode it would be phone in a heartbeat. The more 
proficient you get the more you enjoy it like most things I think.  73 Ed
