HG> In a message on 03-10-18 Ed Vance said to Daryl Stout:
GE Ed,
HG> According to the information I have, CW (and other digital) signals are
HG> allowed in any part of the bands assigned to radio amateurs, but phone
HG> signals are not allowed in the band segments assigned to CW and digital
HG> modes.
EV> I only said "part of any CW Band" to Daryl because no other Modes
EV> are used there and CW usually isn't used in the phone portion of the
EV> Bands.
Right, but you are alloowed to use CW over the entire band segment
reserved to amateur radio.
EV> When I was using HF RTTY I'd send my Call Sign in CW prior to start
EV> typing on the keyboard. (might had done that on VHF too.)
EV> But didn't ID in CW when I was on VHF Packet Radio.
That has never been a requirement here.
HG> By turning the Waters electronic keyer I found it quite easy to send
HG> with my left hand, so when I built the "W7BBX Programmable keyer" I
HG> equipped it with a second key (manipulator) connector for the other
HG> hand
EV> I have a BUG but usually I used the J-38 Key.
Of course I have a hand-pump as well but I send faster with a bug.
I have never tried to use a hand-pump with my left hand but probably one
can get used to that too.
BTW, to avoid a mouse arm I have found that the best place for a
computer mouse is at knee or seat height.
EV>The BandAid graphic is 5 $DB's (219), 5 $B0's (176) and 5 $DB's (219).
I don't know what a BandAid graphic is supposed to look like.
HG> In Windows it doesn't seem to matter which Alt-key you use.
Well Yes it sometime does. The past week I found out that the code for
the degree sign didn't stick when the right 'Gr' was pressed but
pressing the left Gr key did.
HG> The Alt 219 comes out as . and Alt 176 as . in the PC8 = ASCII 8 bit
HG> character table.
EV> Were You able to see the Bandaid image in that message I wrote to
EV> Daryl?
If the character (sign) # is called BandAid I see them.
EV> A few lines above I only see . (period characters) where You typed
EV> Alt 219 and Alt 176.
EV> When I type Alt 219 here, I see a Solid Block Character.
EV> When I type Alt 176 here, I see a Dotted Block Character.
So do I. Now I type AltGr 219 = █ and AltGr 176 = ░ and probably you see
them as you mentioned above.
