Check out the article on page 44 of the May 2013 issue of QST.  If you can adapt a SignaLink USB to key RTTY, you can also simulate a straight key to key CW.

Next will be the two man rule being enforced - Two amateurs will need to simultaneously press the Enter key to validate the entry.

Where is her computer in relation to your transmitting antenna?

" I'd like to know if there is a solution to the dilemma."

Simple, don't buy from companies that impose these types of restrictions.

You now see how propagation actually works!  Understanding the nuances will take the rest of your life.

I am not commenting on answering questions.  My comment refers to the need to actually open a message to only find out that the title in no way represents the content of the message.  THAT is a time waster.

Way too many variables in this problem: Wind Area of antenna; Weight of Antenna; Weight of Rotator; Torque imposed on mast by stopping antenna rotation; Construction of mast; Material of Mast and Stub including tensile strength; Design of Brackets; Structure to which Bracket(s) will be fastened;  Method of fastening Bracket(s) to Structure; ..........

It depends on your Coop.  I am a customer of Berkeley Electric Cooperative in South Carolina.  I made a call reporting an arcing insulator and was astonished to hear their truck pull up less than 15 minutes later.  Their linemen quickly confirmed the problem and worked the lines, hot, to complete repairs, in less than an hour, AT NIGHT!  The pole was not accessible to a bucket truck so they had to climb to do the job. 

To contrast that, I have a friend who had a VEPCO pole in his back yard actually catch fire before they would send anyone to fix it!!!!!

I agree with one exception, I don't respect posters who can't CLEARLY state a topic.  They just use up other people's valuable time deciphering what they REALLY meant.

What more can be said - Everything I have bought from them worked.

Try reloading the USB driver and then make sure you selecting that port in the software.  Also, make very sure the cable is inserted fully into the radio - I had a problem with that in the past.

In production facilities, back when PCBs were populated with leaded components, it was not uncommon to insert all leaded components in the PCB, wave solder and then trim them using a fly cutter.  Then, the PCBs were sometimes sent through a re-flow machine, which made all the solder joints neat looking.  These day, SMD devices predominate to the extent that leaded components often are inserted last and hand soldered.

Not always the case.  I am looking at my waterfall and there are constant lines on my waterfall about 120 Hz apart.  They are not all beacons.  What I have discovered is that they appear when I use my wireless router and are coning from the switching power supply.
