[AMRadio] AWA Classic CW weekend

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

I'd really like to thank Don for the tip on the AWA sponsored pre-1929 CW rigs
on the air over the weekend. I was able to listen a bit both days and it was
amazing. Some of the signals were amusing as all hell, from whooping to yelping.
Others like W2ZM(?) sounded quite novel, I wondered if it was a spark station by
the raspy, melodic tone it made. Some were quite stable, others drifted up and
down a bit. Some would start off with a steady tone, then suddenly rise in
pitch. One even sounded like it was underwater.

It's really great to hear these fine old rigs on the air. Other than a few
station that were very loud with that commercially-made CW sound, it was
absolutely wonderful. It must have been quite a challenge to copy some of that
stuff back then!

Quite an experience. Thanks again Don, for bringing this to the list. I loved
every minute of it. Sure adds another dimension to CW for me.
