[Elecraft] OT-old vs. new 6L6 to K3

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

When I got my first Knight-kit VFO, I got a lot of guffaws from my local
crowd because my signal had a chirp.  I worked with my elmer (first class
commercial license and chief engineer at WCTT) to solve the problem with
keying the VFO, and was so proud of the clean signal when I was done.  No
clicks, no chirps, no mush.  That was 1958 and all the hams I knew, were
well informed about what a clean signal was.  Mushy, clicky, youpy, chirpy
signals got ridiculed, no less then than now.  But maybe things were
different in Kentucky??

73, Guy.
