Hi Guys, Back in my Commodore-64 days I used to run "Digicom" which was a German Packet program. One night my cat PJ slept on the keyboard. This program would transmit anytime a key was pushed. My cat sent endless rows of various letters and numbers all night long.
I printed a few pages out and sent them to my buddy in Montana and explained what had happened. A few days later I received in the mail printouts from his Digicom station that were simular. The caption was: :"FROM MY CAT TO YOUR CAT" 73 de Jack / W7LD / "Lucky Dog" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dick Roth--KA1OZ" <[email protected]> To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 10:40 AM Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Pets in the Shack >I have two furry family members who often visit me when I'm > operating...and often come into the shack when I'm not there. > Naturally, being cats, they climb all over the place including my > operating position. > > Heres a tip: if you leave your radio on when you aren't present, engage > "Tx TEST" to prevent accidental carrier transmission if they want to try > out their fists on your keys. > > Sure, I could shut the station off, but I tend to cling to my old ways > when I used hollow state gear (last rig before the K3 was a National > NCX-3) and it required long warm-ups. > > -- > 73 de Dick, ka1oz > > Elecraft K3/100(K) #859 > G5RV Doublet > Titan-DX Vertical > > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
