Re: [TenTec] Bens best what???

["George Allgood" <myp4k69@bellsouth.net>]

The phrase is actually "Bens Best Bent Wire"......probably the most rhythmic 
phrase I've ever heard.
But.....that was back in the heyday of the BUG.    It sounds better with 
just a touch of
"swing".   There are other words and phrases that bring back the Morse 
magic.....
I like the word POSSESSES  or the call K2UFO.   I can not figure a way to 
demonstrate
these things on the computer...maybe you can try them with your key on the 
air??
