Hey Bill you sounds just like one of the clubs novice instructors. He drilled the practice theme for learning code. Back in the early 90's there was guy who would run a code practice net on a local (Pottstown, about 50 miles away) 2M repeater. Was great fun to copy code and then be able to use a more familiar mode to see how well you did. Most of the folks learning code to upgrade from no code tech to get voice privileges on 10mtrs or 20wpm for the extra. Also there was a certain comorodery as you would build speed. It really helped me along to get to 13wpm.
Sorry to hear that it tough to keep an antenna up over there in the ROK. Have had the same problem here in Pa. It gets pretty windy in the spring and fall. Not like a tsunami or anything but enough to damage whatever I have up in the air. Don't have any verticals up just dipoles that are laying on the roof now. Need to get the slingshot out and get them back up in the air.
