Which again proves that to err is human, but to really screw up  requires a 
computer.

I want to apologize to anyone I inadvertently QRMed during CW  SS.  It was 
a combination of a rusty SO2R operator and an attempt to  operate Unlimited 
using CW Skimmer seriously for the first time.  



I won't bore you with the details, but what seems to have  happened is that 
my Run radio was QSYed to the next live (unworked) spot on my  bandmap, 
which was one of you CQing.  I didn't realize that had happened  and pressed F1 
to send another CQ, which resulted in my CQing on top of  you.  



I was totally mortified to have one victim call me  by name, and only then 
did I notice that my frequency was 25 KHz than it had  been a moment before. 



I have taken steps to make sure this  doesn't happen again, but in the 
meantime ... 



Sorry, and 73,  



Pete N4ZR
