Uh oh! Now a battle of the troll-o-meters...
Really cute, Bill...I love it. 73, Steve, K9DCI P.S. I tilted my monitor and I see that this movement is a little out of balance on the sides. End-to-end balance is ok. Carefully turn the balance weight on the right side in a little, then it'll sit on zero regardless of the orientation... "R.

C'mon Cecil, you've been licensed as long as I have. I Know you Know CW. Does that mean we're virtually obsolete? RE Titanic: The same result would have happened. The ship hit an iceberg in poor visibility. I don't think icebergs carry GPS transponders these days. Now, the Titanic's GPS; does it have transponder capability? The older GPS units do not. Anyway, after the crew slipped by the iceberg that ripped it open, the radio op gets on the air and reports "SOS" or equivalent. The nearest ships respond. Under conditions similar to 1914{?} the Titanic still sinks. Many people still die. But, now we know to 20 feet exactly where the ship was when it sank. GPS won't make a difference. Neither will CW today. I still enjoy CW. |
