[Elecraft] first keyer

[James C. Hall, MD]

Mark:

I, too, built the WB4VVF Accukeyer and it was 1973, I believe. The memory
boards were added a year later. I remember as I was a Junior in high school
!! I also remember the output transistors were easy to blow ! Probably due
to my nascent soldering skills ! HI I still have it in my storage.

73, Jamie

>>"Ah ............. my first keyer came from Bell Labs! Funny round things
in
it. Had 3 leads and a tab on the funny case. Used a mercury wetted relay in
a great big tube like a shot gun shell

I built an Accukeyer out of TTL chips around 1974. You guys are making
me feel like a youngster...  Thanks!!
