I want reliable sporadic E skip again. California on 52.525 FM on a handi-talky. Oklahoma City 2 meter repeater bleeding into Dallas around sunrise. South Africa on a QRP Altoid box rig.

You know. A serious solar maximum. I only have 3 left (if that).

BTW, Twiddlers aren't older than 110 years. So go easy on my newbie keyboarding option.

I want a pony...Sometimes you just have to wait.

Wrong, typewriters with basically the same keyboard, are older than you think.

I never mentioned the word twiddler, you did.

I was referring to the concept of the keyboard which I clearly stated in #33.

The 1874 Sholes & Glidden typewriters established the "QWERTY" layout for the letter keys
