[CW] SAQ Xmas transmission

[k3miy at csonline.net]

Hi Ken

The reason I ask is that some of the alternators used a tap on the
coil of the tuned circuit (see the book W6AM by N6AW)to shift the
frequency slightly so the RX op could get the keying. Wasn't sure
how the Alexanderson units did it. Thanks and season's greetings.
