[Boatanchors] "Chirp is a Beautiful Thing"

[Steve]

> It isn't all bad.

As a kid ham in the early 60's I recall DXer VE7EH always removing the VR 
tube from his VFO in the DX-100 so his signal would stand out in the 
pile...seemed to work!

I have always loved the sound of a little chirp. My single 6L6 tri-tet 
oscillator uses a 40m xtal quadrupling to 10m so of course, every bit of 
chirp is multiplied X 4 but I love the sound. I had a ton of wonderful 
comments over the past solar high years over its sound and many said that it 
brought back pleasant memories of the good old days. For such a simple rig, 
I was really surprised that it was even usable on 10m which was my main goal 
when building it. I knew it would be chirpy but thought it would be much 
worse.
