Not many stayed toghether for this long. 
10/21/2011 5:03:33 PM  Scott Hogin N2ZEN  Albuquerque NM  Very nice and well organized site. Brought back many memories. Bugs are rare on bands, nowadays . Once in a while I hear them. Nice to hear a touch of "humanity" in a sea of digitlally generated cw. Like those long dashes and short dots!! Didit.

I make telegraph keys as a hobby. See www.vizkey.com
Anyway, someone in Brazil saw my site and sent me a Mi-Mound Hi-De Luxe compound bug he wants me to restore.
I am not equipped or competent to do so.
Can you help me??

11/11/2010 9:53:05 AM  Ed Kacura N7EDK  Maran,AZ  Heard you this morning on 7031.55 (11/11/10 1645Z ), 559. Great collection on your site ! I'm still working on my CW, going slow, but I really want to become a good CW op. It's much more interesting and can I say, a bit more romantic than SSB ! 72/73 Ed
