[Elecraft] Not necessarily an Elecraft subject!

[Bob Nielsen]

My first bug (in 1952) was a Vibroplex Champion.  I drilled a hole in  
a small piece of flat steel and attached it with the weight  
adjustment screw.  It didn't look that hot, but worked to get the  
speed down to 5 WPM to work other Novices.
