"New “QRQ” net on 14.028. Can’t break it so all beams must be pointed east. Had a stroke a few year ago and ability to send QRQ reduced."

Thank you, Bill... and thank you also for your military service.   Summer is my busiest time of all but I will be looking you up on freq someday.   I guess this is sorta' a warning since my very slow key might make you comatose.  hihi

Hello Bill. Good to hear you. Gathering info and trying to see if I can find a hardwire solution  for Dvorak style typing. I switched over 5 or 6 years ago as a fluke and have enjoy typing this way. Unfortunately, everything else is QWERTY. I got a MFJ keyboard that I have not hooked up because of the keyboard layout. Anyhoot,  will listen on 7.033. Glad to know you are in this group. Take care and talk to you soon. Fernando N2FQ.
