[SOC] NEW IDEA FOR SOC CONTEST:

[Ray Rogers K7OME]

I take a little different approach to this problem.  As the owner of a 
modern radio I have designed a circuit to add a chirp every time the key 
is pressed.  The tone of the chirp is adjustable from mildly noticeable 
through 'fingernails on chalkboard' up to 'bleeding ears' level.   I was 
disadvantaged as a child having not been born Second Class but I 
honestly believe that, with time and effort, I can engineer my way up to 
simulating that level mediocrity .....
