As Ron says, different notes for different folks!

I agree, Ron. Different folks have different needs and certainly different
prefferences. I'm just wondering if, as this guy suggests, whether some
people would actually be more comfortable copying at that frequency. Seems
far-fetched to me but then I'm wrong every day. By the way, for the sake of
clarity, this item was in the correspondences section of the November 2013
QST if anyone would like to go back and read it. 73, Lou WA3MIX

>> Hi,
