[Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender

[Don Hall]

Similar thing happened to me at a West Gulf Convention in Dallas in the early 50's. After the CW testone or more claimed there was a fault in the letters. I had passed but. along with several others hadto repeat. Fortunately, I was prepared so passed it again and got my Class B and Class A.This thread has brought back lots of memories.

 FCC Detroit office, early 70’s.  The punch tape code sending machine had issues, very warbly.  I still passed.





They got a back-up machine out and let those that failed retake the test.  Not one of them passed on their second go-round with the replacement machine.  I guess you are either prepared or you are not.
