[NJARC] Radio Technology Museum Wants

[Al Klase]

Hi John,

Hold that thought on the BC-1306.  We really need one with the grill.  I 
think the GRC-9 is bigger.

Re:  teletype  Snellman oiled it up.  I built an RS-232 to current loop 
converter.  (I'm a computer hardware guy, so that wasn't too bad.)  We 
only left a little smoke out of the selector magnet while klutzing 
around.  I discovered that TTY guys are even crazier than radio folks.  
On of them wrote a piece of software, "Heavy Metal," that grabs AP new 
and other stuff off the web, converts it to 5-bit Baudot code, and put 
it out the serial port.  FM principle, I suppose.  We're hoping we can 
set it up so an innocent bystander can send us a text message from their 
cellphone.  We have a guy in Argentina that's supposed working on that.

Can any of you hack Perl Scripts?
