[Elecraft] New Mystery: Copying groups vs plain language text (Rather OT)

[Fred Jensen]

Well ... a few years ago I decided to test my recollections of "The Good 
Old Days" by entering an NAQP using an SX-28 I had inherited and an 
ARC-5 converted to 40 m.  I lasted about 2 hours, my rate was around 8 
or 9 Q's/hr.  First thing about "The Good Old Days" was that the 
electrolytics in the Heath HP-23 power supply were dry and I'd have to 
scare up some mfd's to quiet the ripple.  I've concluded that the good 
old days were good because they were all we had, and I seem to have an 
effective filter for the "not so good" parts of those times.  One of the 
things I forgot is that the ARC-5 was cathode-keyed and the bug was 
hot.  Reverting to my K3 was a joy.
