   I keep up with the code by listening to the traffic on the 14 MHz CW   
   portion while I'm sitting here at the BBS computer. The radio is right   
   beside me and I can tune to another station if the one I was listening   
   to shifts away from the frequency he was on by just angling my elbow   
   to reach the tuning knob.
