[Elecraft] [OT] Jim's Dot Stabilizer

[EricJ]

Here's a couple of recordings of W0BMU and the Lake Erie swing that Buzz 
mentions. Listen online or d/l them. The bands used to be full of 
interesting and quirky fists and styles like this. Not unlike speech 
patterns some were quite beautiful, some were in-your-face obnoxious. 
That was before non-meat code readers and (gakk!) keyboards.

I always thought the Lake Erie swing was easy to copy in the speed range 
of most ham QSOs. It has an informal chatty feel to it.

Anyway, for those who want to remember and for those who never knew:
