[Boatanchors] Ancient Wire Recorder and Recorded QSO

[W2HX]

I've never heard a wire recorder before this vide from AB5S. I was amazed that the quality was as good as it was listening to the QSO.  I guess I was expecting much worse.!

It's an intersting little movie of that wire recorder and thanks for taking the trouble to make it available.  It would be great if you could some day put a copy of the audio somewhere for download so we could hear what it sounds like.

tnx 73 OM
