[Lowfer] Tapes - and SAQ

[Howell, Laurence J]

Running a tape the wrong way round - It was an easy thing if in a rush but tended to bind the tape a bit  so a bit of a giveaway

 I used to put a big penciled arrow on my loops to make sure I'd get it right - especially after a long shift or "an event" - joining the tapes could be a bit of fun too with very cold fingers = I don't miss the tape dust/flying chads either... 

 Worse thing was a tape hang up and break mid-way thru or at the end of 20 mins of 5 figure groups...the language was somewhat ripe.

Creed 6S/6SM's I recall - 

SAQ 

Nothing recorded from SAQ here last night - not sure why but hunting thru the log files -  I was in the land of Z's

Initially thought that might be the case ... but the V V V  were perfectly fine. Bet you've got some 
interesting stories from your time at sea.

Hi Jay

"..... with the ID curiously sent as QAS!"

Reminds me of my time at sea when Coast Stations got their knickers twisted
and put their traffic list Morse tapes in back to front.

I was at SAQ for their Alexanderson Day in 2011 and for some reason there
was no sidetone for the first transmission, I don't know whether Lars
Kålland SM6NM had sidetone through his earphones, but he did a great job.

July 2, 2014 reception was slightly down from 'normal' and about on par with
the Jun 29 2014
transmission last weekend. A short .mp3 of the tuneup session with the ID
curiously sent as QAS!

Same receiving setup as usual:

Modified Amrad E probe (1 meter)
LNA
Delta 44 A/D converter
Spectrum Laboratory
