Well, I'm a pretty fast typer but it still took me about a hour to do it. $9 for a hour of work isn't too bad. Tedious, but the pay isn't terrible, and on a slow day like this, it's just the thing to fill up the time.
That was how I tried to see it, but literally I did screw up just about every couple words.

Yes, I have some ones hoping to catch with better payout, but I am also only at like 4500 HITs so far, so also working on numbers.
Probably shouldn't work on numbers with a pretty new requester like them though.

My supervisor just leaned over and asked me to ask you how you learned about the numbers stations. [hee hee]
Um, what's a numbers station? I love America!

Dad was a short wave radio enthusiast. I don't have one, but it's been on my wish list since he died. The University of Twente in The Netherlands have an online short wave radio you tune yourself. The Russian buzzer is still active. I tuned in a bit during their little spat with the Ukraine over Crimea about 5 years ago. It was cool to hear coded messages rather than the usual buzzing.

I have a close FB friend who is a short-waver in ..... the Netherlands! / It's neat listening to the news from overseas; oft times they have aa completely different take on stuff than we do. I think the receiver I had cost ~$450.

why does it seem a lot of quick and easy peasy tasks are from requestors who have not been rated yet? :wink:

I'd love to to get my small numbers up with the cheap HITs but worried about the big downside if I get stiffed.

I did just a few to wait and see, but the tasks probably will be gone by the time I get an approval or rejection to know the honesty of the requestor..

I still cannot find that option, is it under advanced settings?
Thank you so much for your help :)
Now I mildly feel like a dick, I was using my sarcastic ability. In all honesty though turkernator does seem to do a better job of catching hits, than hit catcher. But then you gotta pay 10$ a month and there's still some kinks here and there.

I know, I was just fucking with you,(as you deserved) and yeah, I like TKN as well, as far as kinks the author is extremely responsive, and any issues I have had were addressed very quickly, that guy really stands behind his product.
