- After reviewing a few of my past log UBN reports, I decided to find out where I was busting calls. So I started working out with RUFZ-XP and made several interesting discoveries. The first culprit is

- Anyone else notice this aging by-product? Not yet...but, I did the same thing with RUFZ, and found it was my non-existent typing skills. Seeing my UBN's were almost the same in both CW & SSB, I decid

- There's no question age is a factor. I've been doing some RUFZ practicing lately and I find progress VERY slow. As a matter of fact, I think I've only improved back to the level I was at when I was a
