[TenTec] OT: What doe FB mean

[Ronald C. McConnell]

I hadn't heard the "FB from Samuel F. B. Morse" theory,
but maybe...

FYI, Samuel F. B. Morse III, W6FZZ,
SFBM's grandson (not great- or great-great-grandson) 
was a FB Morse code champion at both the American Morse
(actually Vail) and International codes
at about 75 wpm.  
I see on QRZ.com that his license was renewed
in June 1996 and expired June 2006.
There was some sort of update to the QRZ page 
in March 2006.  It shows an email address.
But he must be a SK by now.

_Somewhere_safe_ I have a handwritten letter
by SFBM III giving some tips on achieving speed
at Morse Code.  It was sent to a mutual friend
who gave it to me.  Just gotta remember 
where "safe" is.

Cheers, 73,

Ron McC.
