The other day I was thinking about finally entering this contest this year, when moments later an email arrived from Doug that said simply: "Don't even think about it..I've ALREADY won" So I never ev

I really liked that NO-DX callsign.(NO8DX) I laughed every time we worked. I didnt know it was you, but big signal from you. Obviously not in the Florida Condo, Jim, hi! VE9AA Mike, Coreen & Corey Ke

de VE9AA. To Stan/K4SBZ, See Steve's post from a few days ago. Probably the best post on this topic in recent times. I don't think I have ever run by the #'s...not that VE9 is very rare (it was when
This is just about KB size & placement, body movement, neck/shoulder pain, not specifically "how do you do it" (if that makes sense) I have 2 x 17.5" wide full size keyboards with a mini sized-mouse
Thanks for your thoughts Dmitri. I remember ~17 yrs ago when I built this huge multi-layered desk (you can see part of it on my qrz.com page) that I made it so the surface was @ 29.375 and then at th
