[Elecraft] Vibroplex - seen on ABC Pan Am (OT)

[Mike Markowski]

Hi Ken,

I think it's safe to say no one likes sloppy code, and the comments were 
saying only that less than perfect code is pleasing to the ear.  But 
less than perfect doesn't mean sloppy.  The tiny imperfections add a 
human quality to an otherwise somewhat stark method of communication.

Shoot high, as the saying goes.  That is, I always strive to send 
perfect, computer-like code but know that I never will.  That little 
difference  - hopefully very little! - is what makes the ab3ap fist 
different from the others.  That said I'm completely with you on poor 
bug fists.  Learn to send, learn to adjust a bug, and -then- get on the 
air with it.

Back to Pan Am, I have an circular slide rule with a big Pan Am logo 
taking up the entire back.  Almost tempting to put it on ebay, but I 
could never part with it!

73,
Mike ab3ap
