Great call.  I have a T-shirt that says:

	WWV
We're all Time
All the time



BTW Code doesn't suck.  The way it is taught  might.  If you learned to talk 
you can copy code.  If, for instance, I say the word "Beer" you don't count 
the letters and spell it out  to figure out what I meant.  You just know that 
they sound I made means a delicious dark brown liquid.  However if I instead 
said "to to too to"   instead of listening to the sound everyone counts the 
dits and dahs.  Thats hard work, and after about 10 you can't count that 
fast.

If I ask most folks to learn 26 new vocabulary words in a week and be able to 
recognise them when spoken, people would have no trouble.  But if I called it 
a code and tried to teach you to spell out each letter of every word you 
would hate it.
Enough about that.

Great job Colin.  And don't worry about being giddy about radios.  My motto is 
that you can't have too many radios.  

cu in the pileups.
