[GreenKeys] Wobbly FSK ?

[tony j. podrasky]

GA OMs;

Yah remember in the good ol' days...

You'd be listening somewhere in the CW portion of the band and
all of a sudden you'd hear a carrier sweep across the frequency
as some lid dragged his transmitter to the frequency his receiver
was tuned to?

We used to say that: "that's just someone down the band, tuning up,
and he's using a VF-1..."

I don't understand how Heathkit let something like that our their doors.

UE,
W6ESE - tony
NNNN
ZCZC
