[Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender

[George Kidder]

Interesting!  I used to own one of these (the single-hole variety) - it 
never worked too well, but then I was no expert at it.  Don't remember 
where I got rid of it - probably at a hamfest for a song.

I took my extra code exam with a portable version of this machine, run 
by the FCC examiner.  It's a long story which I won't repeat, but it 
involved a tape machine malfunction!  Cranky beasts.

George, W3HBM (age 82)
