Hi Mark (or is it Space)

I'll send you the file...I am not that familiar with the workings of
mechanical terminals etc but I thought "diddles" were sent by the
transmitting station to "maintain sync" when no information was being
sent.  I dunno.  Much for me to learn...

BTW, I think a ricebox connected to a crappy computer soundcard will run
circles around the best RATT gear, including that ancient HAL stuff.
fldigi operating my sound card it amazing.  I can print stuff I cannot
hear...then there's the AFC function...  wow....
