Walt, I received your .doc attachment at work and I only work two days a week so it wasn't until today that I could actually read it.

Very interesting. Are these stories from a book you may have published?

No, John, but the story about the FCC RID saving lives by locating lost aircraft over the Pacific has been submitted to QST. We'll have to wait and see if they publish it.

Good story - I'm impressed. I struggle trying to copy 20 wpm, and you were
copying @ 30 wpm. I noticed also you referred to frequencies in KHZ. But shouldn't that have been "KC" or for historic accuracy. ;-) |

When I was an op at AM BC station WMFJ Daytona Beach in 1940 we had no teletype for gathering news, but had a contract with Press Wireless for copying WCX/WJS Brentwood, NY. I copied the news every day for broadcast. The code speed was 35 to 38 wpm. I noticed also you referred to frequencies in KHZ. But shouldn't that have been "KC" or for historic accuracy. I understand your thoughts on this, but if I had used KC in a current piece like this one, someone would surely say I should have used KHz. So either way someone would say I should have used the other form. Walt |

Messed Up Ground Radials Can Generate Spurious Signals ....[snip].... So can a weak alligator clip on a simple homebrew antenna tuner! Several years ago I was operating CW while my wife was using a "glass TTY" to a remote computer (that shows how long ago this was), when a policeman (who was NOT a ham) knocked on our door and said I was causing lots of RFI and TVI. After thinking "I'm on CW; who would have been able to identify me?", I called a nearby ham. Yep, he said I was inter- ferring on EVERY frequency he could check (AM, FM, TV, ham, etc.!), and since he couldn't phone me, he had called the police. So I got back on the air and, with his help, started wiggling everything from the transmitter output toward the antenna. The culprit was a rather weak alligator clip in my homebrew antenna tuner, and that poor joint was producing harmonics from DC to daylight! --Myron, W0PBV. -- --Myron A. Calhoun.
