[HBR] Re: GB> VE3CUI Testing the 1929 Rig---Results!

[Ed Swynar]

Hi Perry,

It was wonderful working you---let's do it again this weekend! Hi Hi

Yes, a lot of the newer Hams just have no idea what to make of a signal like mine, having never encountered one before. I guess guys my age were lucky to have been "...reared" in an era when signals like that were still pretty much commonplace from Novices, Cuban, and eastern bloc countries...

But now everybody's become rich & opulent, & as you say so effectively, Perry, our sigs have become stultifyingly STERILE...

    You popped up here 439 in Western PA around 7.040 at 10:00 EST. I ran to the rig and you were gone.

  While motoring home at 1320 EST, I heard this wonderful yoopy chirpy signal in QSO with an unnamed fella who was having a hard time copying Eddy.
  I waited and called him on 7035 while still mobile, and we had a solid ten minute QSO.  Eddy was 579C (yes, a big "C") here in NE OH with his five watter.
  Of course I opened my TT-Scout RX passband to it's widest so that his entire transmission stayed mostly within audible hearing range as it yooped from high to low....
  Nice to hear his distinctive 1929 signal in the midst of today's "sterile"
  (but, alas, state-of-the-art) transmissions.

  Hope get my #10 TNT (1927) ready for this weekend's AWA bash....
