I know Carl... I'm having second, third and fipple thoughts. My wife,
at least two ham friends, and me included, think I should GO BACK to my
old call. HOWEVER, I have decided to give it a try. One reason is that
I'm a big CW nut. the "dit" for the E is missed by a lot of DX
stations. Many times, I have sent W5EUQ, EUQ, EUQ, EUQ, E, E, E, EUQ,
EUQ....... you know? I have two years before I have to let my old
call go, if I understand correctly.
Oh well... I thought I would NEVER change from W5EUQ... I'm not sure I
am glad YET... we shall see. thanks for the comments. I understand
completely... Bob W5EUQ.....I mean W5UQ.... HI
