[Elecraft] OT:. "High end operator" Message-ID:

In the 50's [I was first licensed as KN6DGW in mid-1953] our local club 
congregated on 29.580 AM.  I got a 40 meter rock for my TX as soon as I 
got my General and could get on 10.  The number of young folk increased 
in the club, and finally one of the OT's measured all the OT's actual 
crystal freq against their TX freq, ground new rocks for each for 
29.695, figuring none of us young studs could chance getting that close 
to the edge of the band.

We decided that if they didn't want us, we could do without them.  I 
think they might be the Ultimate High End Operators.  They're all dead now.
