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!!
