Frank and All,
I think that is a terrific idea.  I will be in IARU full time but CW only.
I have trouble with the fibre, anti-acid, and loose nuts sounds coming
through the microphone at the wrong time.  It doesn't seem to bother the key
or keyboard :-))

Hope to see you this weekend and anyone else who would like to check out the
summer propagation on all bands in a 24 hour period.

73, George .. W1ZT
