[GreenKeys] RTTY HF technician license? Not so fast.

[Gerry Block (sbcglobal)]

Russ,
  Yes, that thing worked perfectly except I remember I 
couldn't get the motor start to work right until it 
was patiently explained to me that 0.1uf is not .01uf 
and when I got the motor control now magically shut 
off in 60 seconds not 6 seconds.  This was used on the 
80 meter autostart net and even though was all in the 
basement the machine could still wake up the family 
when it went on.
  The biggest hurdle on that thing was getting that 
blue tuning eye tube (EF series?) and figuring out how 
to make a slot through the front panel for it.  I had 
neither the right tools or the talent or experience to 
do it right but improvised.  The tube was expensive 
and had to be bought NEW, an unusual experience.
  
  I will swear to this day that everything since 
started with those late nights in the basement.. what 
a learning experience.  Of course I didn't know how 
smart the people were who I was dealing with until 
much, much later.

Regards
Gerry
