Hi Janne!
One trick I have used under a couple of years is to instead of
using shift-7 (thats / on a SM keyboard) I use / on the numeric
key pad instead. The problem is to remember to hit the numeric /
instead of the normal /.

> To get the / I have to use the Shift key and then the radio moves in frequency and the CW going out is not readable - it's just rubbish. It always ended with a click on the CLEAR button on the radio to get back on the listening frequency and hitting the paddle and send a SRI and then the call.

He was not in my log before... That will be a busted call in his log and I didn't get that 1x1 :-(
