Hi.

   I find it quite surprising how many cannot remember the old RST system of reporting from the 1950's.
Is it only the O L D G3's who remember the 599k and 599c?
  Better not answer that!  

I was talking to some of my Morse class on two meters the other night and they had not heard of it
either.  Then I mentioned 599x    Wonder how many remember that too?

As Jim says, we used to fix our rigs if we had a click or chirp. In fact a key-click filter was usually 
one of the questions in the RAE. We had to draw a circuit and describe its action, striving for a T9x
note.  Nearly gave it away then!!
