[JMS] Speaking of Millen and the Mighty Elmac Net...

[Gary Carter]

I assume you're referring to the MP3 recording of my station that Bob, 
W0YVA just posted on the JMS web site. Here's the equipment description 
Paul, WA3VJB sent me along with the MP3 file:

> Playback on a Sony TC-650 open reel into the computer terminal here in 
> the house. 7.5ips 2T (mono, guard channel).
