[NJARC] NJARC Swapmeet

Something strange with my postings (other than the content) . Seems like my periods which I place after each sentence are being modified by the reflector to include a question mark symbol.? I haven't noticed that on others.? And not noticed in prior posts I made in the past months.? Here is a sentence I will end with a question mark to see how the reflector pushes it out?? Here is a standard sentence.

The left handed bug IS a valid item however and most bug makers produced them.? 
On a "standard" bug, the dots are made automatically by depressing the lever to 
the right, and then you make the dashes manually by pushing the lever to the 
left.? On the left handed models it's the opposite.? The mechanism is merely 
reversed.

Some IAMBIC electronic keyers have reverse switches to do the same thing.

The real rarity, however, is the left handed Bunnell Triumph key.? If anyone has 
one I will pay hansomely for it.

Hi Al,

Oh, so *you* got the left-handed one, eh? I don't understand the difference. 
Anyway, I was happy to come away with at least one of them. One of the real joys 

of an NJARC meet is the Sideroff Auction! ;-)

Did anybody notice how this meet had a lot of Hallicrafters gear? I bought 
*three* Hallicrafters (SX-25, SX-42, S-40 with the outboard S-meter accessory -- 

thanks Owen!), sold two others (S-19R, and a seldom-seen S-20 -- *not* S-20R), 
and missed out on three others (SX-24, SX-28, HT-32). This is not counting the 
usual S-38/S-120 entry-level sets; there were a few of those there too. Ol' Bill 

Halligan would have been very proud.

Regards,

John, KC2UAK
