That is the truth and always has been. You can still pas the test with one
minute of solid copy. If you don't get the 70% correct then they are to
check for a minute of solid copy. Either one will pass the test.
When I got mine the one miute solid copy of 5 was the only way. It was tough.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Can someone tell me how easy they find TPK to use? I am helping a local
amateur improve his node (by switching to BPQ) and, whilst his RF knowledge is
good, he doesn't want to spend weeks learning how to drive some software!
Can TPK also operate as a PMS? I'd like to hear from anyone who has done
it, particularly BPQ.

If all else fails, call (303) 499-7111 for the audio portion of WWV. Not
very useful as a frequency reference though :-)

Oh, well, there goes A1OP!
