[GreenKeys] Wobbly FSK ?

[Lee Mushel]

Now that brings back some memories.   I will add "wobble" to "chirp," 
"drift" QRH, QRI, T5 etc.   And I recall a construction article that I 
suppose appeared in the early 50s in Popular Electronics that had you build 
a "one tube CW transmitter" on a chassis bent from hardware cloth.  It was 
crystal controlled but it was a bit light on the power filter side and went 
"peeoww pip peeoww pip,   peeoww peeoww pip peeoww."   Thank goodness I had 
it attached to a light bulb for testing and only I heard that!  And I am 
surprised to learn that anyone had the nerve to use the VF-1!   I actually 
saw one on eBay the other day!
