   I only said "part of any CW Band" to Daryl because no other Modes are   
   used there and CW usually isn't used in the phone portion of the Bands.   
      
   When I was using HF RTTY I'd send my Call Sign in CW prior to start typing   
   on the keyboard. (might had done that on VHF too.)   
   But didn't ID in CW when I was on VHF Packet Radio.

   I have a BUG but usually I used the J-38 Key.   
   Never had a Keyer to use, they are nice though.

   The # character wasn't used in the Johnson and Johnson Tagline that showed   
   a ASCII Art image of a Bandaid, #'s  is what I saw when Daryl Replied to   
   my message earlier this Month.   
      
   Were You able to see the Bandaid image in that message I wrote to Daryl?   
      
   A few lines above I only see  . (period characters) where You typed Alt 219   
   and Alt 176.   
      
   When I type Alt 219 here, I see #  a Solid Block Character.   
   When I type Alt 176 here, I see #  a Dotted Block Character.
