   GE Ed,   
      
    HG> According to the information I have, CW (and other digital) signals are   
    HG> allowed in any part of the bands assigned to radio amateurs, but phone   
    HG> signals are not allowed in the band segments assigned to CW and digital   
    HG> modes.   
      
   EV> I only said "part of any CW Band" to Daryl because no other Modes   
   EV> are used there and CW usually isn't used in the phone portion of the   
   EV> Bands.   
      
   Right, but you are alloowed to use CW over the entire band segment   
   reserved to amateur radio.   
      
   EV> When I was using HF RTTY I'd send my Call Sign in CW prior to start   
   EV> typing on the keyboard. (might had done that on VHF too.)   
   EV> But didn't ID in CW when I was on VHF Packet Radio.   
      
   That has never been a requirement here.   
      
    HG> By turning the Waters electronic keyer I found it quite easy to send   
    HG> with my left hand, so when I built the "W7BBX Programmable keyer" I   
    HG> equipped it with a second key (manipulator) connector for the other   
    HG> hand   
      
   EV> I have a BUG but usually I used the J-38 Key.   
      
   Of course I have a hand-pump as well but I send faster with a bug.   
   I have never tried to use a hand-pump with my left hand but probably one   
   can get used to that too.   
      
   BTW, to avoid a mouse arm I have found that the best place for a   
   computer mouse is at knee or seat height.   
      
    EV>The BandAid graphic is 5 $DB's (219), 5 $B0's (176) and 5 $DB's (219).   
      
   I don't know what a BandAid graphic is supposed to look like.   
      
    HG> In Windows it doesn't seem to matter which Alt-key you use.   
      
   Well Yes it sometime does. The past week I found out that the code for   
   the degree sign didn't stick when the right 'Gr' was pressed but   
   pressing the left Gr key did.   
      
    HG> The Alt 219 comes out as . and Alt 176 as . in the PC8 = ASCII 8 bit   
    HG> character table.   
      
   EV> Were You able to see the Bandaid image in that message I wrote to   
   EV> Daryl?   
      
   If the character (sign) # is called BandAid I see them.   
      
   EV> A few lines above I only see  . (period characters) where You typed   
   EV> Alt 219 and Alt 176.   
      
   EV> When I type Alt 219 here, I see a Solid Block Character.   
   EV> When I type Alt 176 here, I see a Dotted Block Character.   
      
   So do I. Now I type AltGr 219 = Û and AltGr 176 = ° and probably you see   
   them as you mentioned above.
