  Many hams thought the hobby would die off when the FCC eliminated
the Morse Code CW Requirement entirely, back on Feb. 23, 2007. Yet,
folks now were learning Morse Code because they WANTED to, and NOT
because they HAD to.

  Vibroplex, who makes a wide variety of CW Keyers, had their phones
literally "ringing off the wall" 2 weeks either side of the above
date, as folks were wanting keyers like they were money!!

  I used to have a ball with those. I've seen train layouts with
Lego...the best video is the Danny Harmon Railfan one on "The Newtson
Florida Special". A brief look at the Lego Layout is in the video at

   That's Microsoft Windows. <G>
