Well, I finally hooked up a loop with the new Dovetron, and it works
beautifully. I've been copying the JARTS RTTY contest some today, and find
some difficuly when there is no LF sent with the CR.. Don't have LF on CR
function in my stunt box. I could pull it out and switch the CR and LF
function bars in their slots, but I'm lazy. However, I'm printing anything
I can hear, more or less. Usng an old KWM-2 for receive. Gotta have that
worm glow of vacuum tubes for the M-28 to work right. Almost forgot to use
LSB. Had to get out the oil can. Hadn't run the old iron in some time.
I'll work on getting a transmitter online next. The Collins power supply
won't handle the 100% duty cycle of RTTY, so will probably work something
out with the Icom rig.
Ahhh. The aroma of warm oil, the sound of print. Love it.
