Me TOO!! And then last night I was outside with my wife - OUTSIDE
the house, and I hear a high-pitched steady tone...
Darn I think - the magical crazy ghost Morse has followed me
OUTSIDE even!
I 'm standing there listening to this imaginary Morse - (It sounded like
a guy tuning), when my wife says:
"What IS that noise...do you hear it Eric? A steady beep sound?"
DOH!! I breathed a sigh of relief... :-) (It turned out to be someting
up the road at someone's house)

Yes - it's crazy - and Mac the sad part is we go through ALL this trouble, to send
LOW POWER Morse, and buy a rig, and do the attic trick, and then
we hear code in our HEADS!!!!
I COULD HAVE SAVED SOME MONEY AND TIME!!! :-)
