Chief Operator,

c/o ITT WorldCom 67 Broad Street

Dear Sir:

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment the MF 
WSL operator on duty 1400-1500 gmt Dec. 5th. He (or she) is 
one of the smoothest efficient operators I have heard for 
some time - and I have copied many of them over the years.

No bug weights squeezed to the hilt with dots sounding 
like buckshot on a tin roof. No superfluous signals. An 
easy but brisk pace - and I didn't hear a single error 
for the hour I listened. And, I never heard a ship ask 
for a repeat.

I put some of it on my old Morse inker register - it 
sounded even better than it looks on tape.  The spring 
wound mechanism is just a bit jerky feeding the tape at 
a slightly varying speed.

Sincerely,

Donald K,  deNeuf
