[TenTec] Keyers 'N Modes

[M. P. Haynes]

Hi Bob,

I agree with you on the hand pump but must admit that I use ASCII mode
with my keyer, especially handling traffic or working Field Day!  Then
again I have heard some absolutely awful CW sent with a bug on the
Tennessee CW Net by a friend of mine who will remain anonymous!

73,

Pat - K4BEH
