[Duncanancy]

Steve,What do you mean "pre-digital"?Where do you think the term "Baud rate" comes from?We tell visitors at the AWA Museum that digital communications has been around for over 130 years!  And email started in the 1930s (TWX/TELEX)!Have fun,Duncan K2OEQ Sent from my Kleinschmidt TT-4/TG, the US Army's first portable digital communications device, 1950-1980

Michigan Yooper Thought it was interesting that he wanted to show the kids how we did things in pre-digital age, yet if he was to put a scope across the contacts of a TD with a little current in a loop he could show the "1s and 0s" of that non-digital era equipment.Maybe we should send him a TD as well!Steve G./N4TTYSent from my iPhone> On May 1, 2021, at 2:16 AM, eric <epvgk at limpoc.com> wrote:> >> On 2021-04-30 23:12, Jim Cooper wrote:>>> On 30 Apr 2021 at 19:41, epvgk at limpoc.com wrote:>>> Nice!
