- Ah, purity! Never use keyers myself; they really "bug" me. As every

-
- I would actually distinguish between the two types of call.
-
- If I heard someone say "blah blah blah monitoring", I would probably not
- go back to them unless I knew them, and wanted to talk to them about
- something specific. (I think of this as an indication of their presence
- on the frequency rather than an open invitation to chat --- an action that
- strictly speaking is not permitted according to the UK license.)
-
- A general CQ I interpret as an invitation for _anyone_ to respond, so I might.
-
- Does anyone agree with that?

-
- The ARRL runs regular code practice on W1AW, and I have heard some local
- repreaters run practice sessions as well. W1AW skeds are published
- periodically (npi) in "QST".
-
- The New Jersey Slow Net (NJSN) for years has taught traffic handling at
- slow speed, which improved both traffic handling and code skills. The
- net makes good listening for SWL ham wannabes, as well as Novices. Perhaps
- there is one on a frequency near you. See if you can get hold of a League
- NET DIRECTORY, which lists nets in the National Traffic System, et al.

-
- That implies nothing of the sort. It implies that you may continue to
- operate until you either recieve your renewed license or the FCC notifies
- you that your application for renewal was denied.
-
- Jeez, is it that complicated? Pretty crystal to me. You must be one of the
- many who are misinterpreting the 2nd Amendment of the Constutution too...
