- What on earth leads you to believe such an absurd statement - reading three

- Greetings CWISTS and Boatanchorites:
-
- I will be on again at 0400UTC for the continuing saga of the Sacred and
- Most Honorable Friendly Society of Brass Pounding Fist Functioning CWISTS.
-
- Standard time: Friday Nights at 0400UTC
-
- Standard freq: 80 meters --- 3702.5 khz for Novices and SlowSpeeds, et al.
- 3527.5 khz for Generals and Advanced, et al.
- 3517.5 khz for Extras and Europeans, et al.

- 40 meters --- 7102.5 khz (between the heterodynes)
- 7027.5 khz for Generals and Advanced, et al.
- 7017.5 khz for Extras and Europeans, et al.
-
- The interest for this weekly function continues to grow. There have
- even been some interested Europeans asking about it.
-
- Let us all work together to continue to advance and promote the friendly
- use of CW on the amateur radio bands.
-
- Let us continue to assist and help the newcomers and slowspeeds who
- are trying to get their CW going.
-
- Let us to continue to promote the use of whatever gear you have up
- and available, be it the newest of sorts or the oldest boatanchor.
- Remember, CW generation has not changed since the days of arcs,
- Alexanderson alternators, and Pliotrons.
-
- Let us continue to promote the sharing and fellowship of the history
- and traditions of amateur radio (this includes all you OTs out there
- that have all sorts of goodly tidbits of history to relate to the young
- squirts on the block, and it includes all you young squirts on the block
- who, even though a bit new at CW and radio are the future of the service
- hobby or profession).
-
- Let us continue to promote the ``elmering'' of all of our new folks
- by the old timers aboard, in any way that we can.
-
- So, OTs aboard, young squirts in the wings, high-speed afficionados of
- the art, and slow-speed ragchewers, join in on the fun. If your
- equipment is old boatanchor, so what. If your signal is a bit weak or
- chirpy, so what. If your antenna is just a mere piece of wire up into
- the trees, so what. YOU can still join in and participate.
- YOU are the folks who will make it what it can be, a goodly learning
- time and an enjoyable evening for all.
-
- See You There OM/YL.....
