Hi Tom,
I plan to be on today, mostly SSB, but since I am also dealing with a
bit of a cold, I may have to dabble in the black art of CW somewhere
along the line. I'll listen for you.
Since you have some real unusual county names in Michigan, I spent about
15 minutes the other day modifying the JAWS dictionary manager for my
Writelog software, so that the full county name will be spoken when the
4 letter abbreviation is input. Not really necessary, and more of a
help when working a station again on new band or mode but since county
names don't change, it should be useful for years to come.
73 and good luck, Steve KW3A
