Never been a big fan of bugs and the mangled code most people send with them. But since we're barrelling off topic, I DO like the Rolex GMT Master a few slides previous. I bought one for $35 from a watch vendor on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok a few years ago. It ran for the next 2 years then quit.
It's main distinguishing feature was that it said "Oyster Pertual Date" instead of Perpetual. I wore it on the flight home and got stopped in Customs in Toronto. "Where'd you get the Rolex?" I laughed, took it off and handed it to the guy and said it cost $35. Then I told him he could keep it if he wanted to. He grinned, handed it back and I was on my way! 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS On 29/10/2011 12:09 AM, Mike Morrow wrote: >> Noted last episode a Vibroplex or similar was used >> to send a telegram or cablegram >> >> http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/pan-am/jet-setter/104a-cablegram > I wonder if, by the early 1960s, there were **any** commercial > aircraft radiotelegrapher positions still used on US airlines.
