[TenTec] Real CW Ops

[HENRY PFIZENMAYER]

They always told me I had a  "bananna boat"  swing - probably the reason an
Erie op tried to hire me out of high school to do Erie stuff --  Hank K7HP

> Being an old Lake Erie sailor, I could make a wild guess as to the origin
of the term. Lake Erie is known for it's shallow waters and extreme
choppiness in many situations where the "other" great lakes are but a gentle
roll. I would think a CW Op, sitting at a key on board, might indeed have a
special "swing". :-) But that's only a guess. What ever it true origin, it
makes me chuckle!
