[TenTec] Just an observation, Field Day in Hawaii

[Richards]

Ken's comments touch an important consideration for me.  I am finally 
getting close to working CW on the air, but I have found precious few 
descriptions of how to play well on the air and I am very serious about 
being a good, and courteous, operator.   I have a separate folder in my 
computer ham files labeled "Good Operating Practices" and would be 
pleased if anybody on the list can point me to any particularly good 
works on how to work CW - not how to pound the brass, but how to conduct 
myself on the air.  I have found a few on the internet, but they are 
rather brief and don't tell very much.

THANKS.
