[TenTec] Mobile CW

[Duane A Calvin]

I picked up a pen at the "Hamsexy" booth at Dayton that said "20 WPM Code
Pen".  It didn't help.   :-)    So, I gave it to a friend who is hoping
the FCC will eliminate the code requirement, but is studying for the 5
WPM test anyway.  I told him now he couldn't use a 'writing' excuse.

        73,  Duane
