Hi Gents, I have a paper tape perforator (perf), probably made by Teletype 
Corp,anda partly homebrew keyer/reader for the paper tapeboth items for 
sale. The perf comes with a solid cherry-wood cabinet with a built-in 
powersupply and a place for the tape supply. It's very similar to what W1AW 
used to use for bulletins and codepracticeback in the 40?-60's.  I used it for 
re-sending W1AW-issued bulletins. The perf comes with a fairly large supply of 
2-level paper tape and amanualyou won't run out anytime soon!! The keyer 
comes with two reels. If you live within driving distance of ~Kansas City, MO 
you may havethe roll-around desk that the units are sitting on. I'd prefer not 
to ship, but if I do the cost will be at least $100 morejustfor 
packing/crating.  The perf is heavy, but about the size of a smalltypewriter. 
If you pick up the units, I have another perf that you may have for partsOR to 
get it working. No photos have been taken yet but I can do so if there is any 
seriousinterest in these units. I'm asking $750 for the two units but, as 
mentioned, there will beother items available for free with the 
sale.-Now,
 about the 3-gate (Multi-gate keyer) keyer.  It was originally usedfor sending 
TTYmessages from the Air Force's SAC HQ "underground" in Omaha.It has been 
converted to send CW with standard 5-level paper tape.It can be used to send 
either up to 3 messages or up to 6 messages.I used to use it for sending 
contest exchanges.  I might have themanual for itnot sure. The gates are 
independently controlled by solenoids/clutch whichare remote controlled.  The 
unit's motor is equipped with "100-speed"gears.  I'm pretty sure I have the 
60-speed gears if you want to use itfor standard RTTY messaging.  The unit 
comes with a wood box that is usedfor sound control. If you have access to old 
CQ mags, it's on the cover of the January, 1963issue with some info inside. I'm 
asking $200 for it and the control unit. 73,Charlie, N0TT

Parting Out Hickok 600A tube tester. This is a nice looking unit,  front
control panel is excellent, meter is good. The tube data scroll is white and
in great shape. There are 3 wafer switches that are broken but the rest of
the switches and controls look good. The tubes and the transformers are
missing.  I have lots of pictures. The cabinet is in overall nice shape.

I'm having a string of bad luck lately apparently. For the second time, a 
package arrived at the buyers trashed. The first was two weeks ago, sent by 
UPS. Despite being plainly labeled in LARGE print all over that said FRAGILE, 
the Lafayette receiver was trashed on arrival. I'm now in a battle with UPS to 
get insurance payment, even threatening legal action.

Now, just yesterday I was informed by and shown pictures of a package I sent 
postal service, thinking maybe they would be more responsible. A Swan 500 and 
power supply. Sent in two separate boxes encased in peanuts obtained from 
UHaul, which has a very good reputation for not treating their shipments like 
footballs during the playoffs. ALso had them wrapped in bubble wrap and the 
boxes marked FRAGILE and the post office indicating so on the tracking 
documents. Arrived like the UPS boxes ... looking like other 50 to 100 lb boxes 
had been dropped on top of mine. Buyer still in the process of determining 
damage to the rig and if it is fatal damage or minor.

My point is .. and my belief is .. I don't give a DAMN for ANY of the shippers 
excuses. I pay them for one thing.. to SHIP a box from point A to point B, and 
for that box to arrive in one piece just like when I dropped it off for 
shipping. Especially when it is indicated that it is fragile. I hope to hell no 
one EVER tries shipping glass glasses because I firmly believe they would 
arrive as a pile of glass shards in the box. And, I do not appreciate being 
told by a shipper that "it was not damaged during shipping." THAT crap is an 
insult to someone's intelligence

I don't know the solution, except maybe to take the equipment to a place that 
will absolutely fill the box with foam insulation and it becomes a block that 
has to be cut away when it arrives. Even then, I'm sure the shipper would find 
some way to make it arrive looking like it had been dropped from a B52 at 
20,000 feet. Remember when they used to tout the durability of Collins gear, 
saying they could be dropped from a plane and still be operational after 
landing. I dont think even a Collins KWM2 can survive the incompetence of the 
three major shippers. The employees have no respect or care for anything they 
handle. It seems to be toss it on the truck from 20 feet away, stack it 10 high 
with 50 lbs on top of each and then toss it into the driveway. Sometimes, I'm 
surprised they even get out of the truck when they deliver a package instead of 
just tossing it out the door and driving away. They must get out of the truck 
if they have to get a signature.

Hi Rob,

I have shipped and received many large and heavy boatanchors over the last
ten years or so via FedEx Ground.

I have NEVER had a problem.

My most recent purchase was a Swan 400 (shipped from MA to PA) which
included an Astatic desk mike, 117B power supply, 420 VFO, and the 400
transceiver.

All four items were shipped in one box (about 50 lbs total) which was
properly packed by the seller.

The radio and accessories arrived in perfect shape and were placed on the
air the following day after initial checks and power up.

We are primarily looking  for   material and stories   from 
the 60's and 70s   -  But  before ok! (If there  was  any?)
and  after... yes  if during the early development  phases
 
 
We have the following questions:
 
-   Aside  from Ray Morrison, who else was  working on  this?
 
-   Anyone here   work  with Ray on this or have  photos of  gear and 
paperwork?
 
-  Although we have some of Ray Morrison's articles, we are looking  for 
other letters, documents hardware, memories of use etc.
 
- ` Are there any  Blind / Deaf Blind RTTY or computer  users here today   
that participated in this  effort?
 
-   Are there any Blind/Deaf Blind CURRENT participants  Amateur  Radio 
RTTY  or other digital modes with assistive  technology  producing  braille 
output??
 
- Anyone  use Lee Brody's Deaf Blind Communication  terminal hand  have a 
recounting of it or still have an example of the hardware? 
 
- Looking for  Computer output devices and information, photos,  stories 
etc, by any developer or user  from the 60's and 70s   primarily but later 
material will go into the  archives on this   subject as well. Nowadays there 
are plenty of things, but  way back then...  not  so much!

This one has the crystal pack in it, which is not real easy to  find

Nice SHURE mic!  
 
 
In my younger years  ( 30+ years ago)   I had the  element and a ring with 
2 of the spring  holding  ears snapped  off  so I let  someone else have 
it...  as  we had  a  number of other ring and spring mics in the  display...
 
we have  the model 70 c  also  what an odd   mic!   they call it  a crystal 
mic?  I thought it was a  condenser mike due  to big  black box.

Interestingly enough, the number of people  who are now actually learning 
the International Morse code is increasing even  though a working knowledge 
of the code is no longer required.  However,  at least when listening to the 
bands, the actual percentage of operators using  CW, as opposed to using 
SSB, is quite small.  Of course, on one of the  few weekends during the year, 
when there is a major CW contest, like this  weekend, the usage is 
considerable.  But, after Z this evening, the  number of signals dropped to 
almost 
zero!




Remembering back to the 1960s, if I am  remembering correctly, the actual 
number of CW stations operating, at any 1  time, was considerably more than 
what it is today.




Of course, in those "goode olde dayes",  considering the average wages of 
people, equipment was considerably more  expensive in terms of percentage of 
wages.  Back then, CW equipment was  often barely affordable, by most 
amateur radio operators, AM transmitters were  expensive, and, until at least 
around 1966, SSB equipment was, generally, VERY  expensive.




Of course, low powered AM equipment, like  the Heath DX-40 and DX-60, were 
not that expensive.  But, especially on  80, 40, and 20-meters, after dark, 
when the "big boys" came on, those with the  low powered equipment went to 
CW or stopped operating completely.  Today,  when inflation is taken into 
consideration, and the effective purchasing power  of money is considered, 
equipment is dirt cheap!  One can get, today, a  100-watt SSB, AM, FM, CW HF 
transceiver for quite a bit less than what a  100-watt output AM / CW 
transmitter cost, in equivalent purchasing power, in  the 1960s and that 
equipment is 
light years ahead in terms of  performance.

The ARRL  has been, seemingly, pushing for more WINLINK / PACTOR 
availability for some  time.  One speculation is that they hope to increase 
membership 
through  more boat, and yacht, owners getting licenses specifically for 
operating using  those modes because they do not want to have to pay for 
Internet access using  considerably more expensive commercial links.  Of 
course, 
being able to  afford, and to operate, such watercraft usually requires a 
substantial  investment and yet those same people don't want to spend any money 
to be able  to use the Internet while on the water.  Then, again, amateur 
radio  operators also have a reputation as to being "cheap" and, I suppose, 
boat /  yacht owners are no different where money is concerned!
Although the ARRL  does not normally make the actual number of members 
public, if one takes a  look at the mailing notice that has to be published, 
periodically, that is in  small print in the back of QST, it is pretty easy to 
get a pretty good idea as  to the number of members.  
For some time, the ARRL has "pushed"  EMCOMM to get new members to replace 
other members who have abandoned the ARRL  and, it seems, that they are 
doing the same thing with boat owners.
I  abandoned the ARRL some time back because they have long stopped 
supporting  what I believe the direction that amateur radio should take.  Since 
I 
am  not an ARRL member, I do not comment on the internal workings of that  
organization.  However, when the ARRL submits petitions to the FCC, or  even 
when they are proposing such, that affects the entire amateur radio  
population then I definitely do have the right to comment!
Several years  ago, the ARRL submitted a request for an NPRM that expanded 
WINLINK / PACTOR  operations that they retracted after quite an uprising 
within the membership.  It appears that they might be trying it again.
I realize that thing  are changing and have been changing for some time 
during the over 56-years  that I have been licensed and some of those changes 
have been for the good of  amateur radio and some have not been good for 
amateur radio.  However, I  definitely believe in doing everything possible to 
stop changes that are  definitely not in the best interests of the Amateur 
Radio  Service.

Subject: [Glowbugs] I agree

Dear David,
I echo all of the sentiments below. I think that in  retrospect, it was a 
huge mistake to take away so much CW spectrum from the  General Class CW 
operators on 80m.
I also want to STRONGLY OPPOSE expansion  of WINLINK / PACTOR and any other 
UNATTENDED digital mode operations on our HF  bands! They cause QRM and are 
a nuisance no matter what is done to claim that  they have been cleaned up!
Many of my ham friends and I confess to having  missed the April 2015 QST 
article and your It Seems to Us page in the  September 2015 issue. These 
articles discuss proposed changes to accommodate  digital modes, while 
eliminating or reducing extra class phone privileges on  80 meters. Many of us 
have 
now been awakened to the ARRL’s conclusions and the  proposed recommendations 
to its executive committee, and to the FCC. And while  the door may be 
closed to the initial polling (only 1,000 respondents), we  nevertheless feel 
the need for clarification, and if necessary an appeal for a  reconsideration 
of these ARRL’s proposals.First, this may be simply a matter  of 
clarification. I read, and then re-read both the September and April  articles 
several 
times. I can find no assurance that the proposal would  provide that the 
remaining 3650-3700 phone segment will be retained for the  exclusive use of 
Amateur Extra Class licensees. While this may be merely an  oversight, the 
absence of this assurance seems suspicious. A clear statement  in your recap 
like “while the extra class phone exclusivity will be reduced by  50 kHz, the 
3650-3700 segment will be protected for the exclusive use of  holders of 
Amateur Extra Class licensees,” would have eliminated much anxiety.  Would you 
please clarify this via email and through QST as soon as  possible.Next, 
many of us earned extra class licenses through hard work and  devotion to the 
hobby. I earned mine shortly after incentive licensing was  introduced in the 
1970s. Incentive licensing is, in my opinion, one of the  ARRL’s most 
significant initiatives. I was
