[GreenKeys] Mainline TT/L Wanted

[Whitebear1122]

You are totally right.  Sigh….. In my case the shack is a basement third bedroom and all bedrooms have carpet. Although there is no bed in here, the carpet is here in anticipation of a move in several years… hi hi

For the hot solder comment, I have a heavy plastic floor mat over the carpet under the repair bench as a compromise.  Works "ok" at best but not as nice as the old floor tile.  That reminds me of a time when i was soldering a PL-259 while wearing shorts.  A glob of solder fell off the iron right onto my exposed leg.  Oh my gads did that hurt.   Never made that mistake again.

I remember the time many years ago when I was copying a RTTY news broadcast from President George Bush on my Model 15 Teletyoe.  My 7 year old daughter was in the shack watching, thinking that I was in contact with the Preseident Bush :)
