Oops, meant to send this to the whole list...

You can use JJRadio to send CW with the 590.  You just go to the "send text"
area and type.  The only kaviat is that you don't want to type too far ahead
or it'll lose characters.

As for your paddle, yes, it sounds like the dash side isn't connected.  You 
could plug it into the straight key plug and use the dot side of the paddle 
like a straight key.

Ed and Jim, I'm sure glad you guys are having the same band conditions, and
it just isn't me! <lol> I just tuned across my favorite band, 17 meters, and
also 15 and 10 meters and never heard a single signal. Ed, I would get on
CW, but for some strange reason, my paddle isn't working with my TS-590, and
I cannot find my old straight key. So for now, I'm stuck on SSB. I guess I
need to get my computer here in the ham shack and figure out how to use it
to type in what I'm saying and have it talk to my TS-590 and send the CW
that way. If anyone here is doing that, please post back and tell me what I
need to do the same.

Ron, K8HSY

G M Ron, there was a few stations on this morning and if your interested in
D X there was a good, rare one on at 1300 Z on 30 meters, 4W/PE7T
Timor/Leste.  Also 4W/N1YC was on 20 meters around 14:00 both on C W so good
luck.  73

I was tuning around on the bands this morning, and it sure seems like they
are all pretty much dead. Are you all experiencing the same conditions or is
it just my rig? I tuned across 80/75, 40, 20, 17, and 10 meters, and heard
very, very little activity, absolutely nothing on 17 and 10 meters at all,
and few stations on 20.
