   I found that one when I was looking at the available calls for District 5.   
      
   I started a list of preferred calls, then found that K5RXT was available.   
   That surprised me, but it became mine soon after.   
      
   More recently, I found (KF5OYO) someone talking about that call on a blog,   
   who made claim to it, but too late. It was already mine. Apparently the   
   person who had it died in 1980 and nobody claimed the call for 30+ years.

   I suppose. I had a typing class in high school (c1959) but lost the 60wpm   
   skills soon after. It all came back when I aquired my first PC in 1980...   
      
   What slows me down sometimes is having to think of how to present what I'm   
   saying at the same time as doing the typing. 8^) I've aquired better   
   English grammar skills since marrying an English teacher...
