- That is the truth and always has been. You can still pas the test with one
- minute of solid copy. If you don't get the 70% correct then they are to
- check for a minute of solid copy. Either one will pass the test.
-
- When I got mine the one miute solid copy of 5 was the only way. It was tough.

-
- Can someone tell me how easy they find TPK to use? I am helping a local
- amateur improve his node (by switching to BPQ) and, whilst his RF knowledge is
- good, he doesn't want to spend weeks learning how to drive some software!
-
- Can TPK also operate as a PMS? I'd like to hear from anyone who has done
- it, particularly BPQ.

- If all else fails, call (303) 499-7111 for the audio portion of WWV. Not
- very useful as a frequency reference though :-)
