   GM Roy,   
      
    HG> I didn't know it before but now I do. I'm an art lover, I love Morse.   
      
   RW> You are a dying breed.   
      
   Yes I know, if nothing else happens age will do it.   
      
   RW> My interests lay more in building antennas than being on the cw   
   RW> portions of the HF bands.   
      
   Until I started my own business I was a very active electronics builder   
   making my own receivers, transmitters and control/measuring equipment.   
   Needless to say, I've never bought an antenna.   
      
   RW> Did that as a boy scout in the 50s. I knew morse code at the age of   
   RW> 13. Teens aren't that interested in morse or radio as much as they   
   RW> are girls at that age.   
      
   That wasn't a distraction for me. I had a girlfriend in the teens who   
   later became my wife and co-operator as OH2QJ and then OH0ND/OH0YL.   
      
    HG> I admit that I have lost at least the paragraph copying because of   
    HG> not having trained that in a long time but it will come back with   
    HG> training.   
      
   RW> I suspect that my HF rig, Kenwood TS520 bought c1977, has blown some   
   RW> pwr supply caps as it has blown the fuse when turning it on.   
      
   Yeah, that's a common problem with old equipment.
