I do remember Dick Bash, KL7??? who started the whole licencing uproar. I
think he finally got his tech licence pulled for some silly reason.
Yes, I love them boat anchors too. Hollow state technology with the warm
glow of filaments is so nostalgic.
I personally will have a boat anchor station set up. Drake 2B and a Central
Electronics 100V transmitter tied into a Johnson Desk Kilowatt. I heven
have the Ranger exciter to run it as a KW plate modulated if necessary (now
illegal). Yes, I do have rice boxes as well, but there is no challenge to
those. But they are nice mobile.
I challenge all of you out there to get a ham licence, no code or even the 5
wpm. The 5 wpm is no barrier -- anyone can learn that in a few weeks a
couple nights a week. C U on the bands . . .

I doubt, somehow, that you could classify what's in the ROMs in an ATARI or
COMMODORE as source code.

Hello, fellow OM's
yes, I are a ham too, but don't send the code stuff. Now that the FCC had
deregulated things, the majority of hams will NOT know Morse Code.

CB radio has now infiltrated our ranks -- but us scrungers live on in
cyberspace, or is that at a virtual hamfest where people still build things

That might be the case, except that my recollection of the "standard" MAXTOR
drives were pretty much all 15 Mbit drives. Later they may have gone
faster, though. My 4380's and 8760's are all 15 Mbit drives.

Hello fellow hams and others,
Besides having a ham licence, I also had a First Class Radiotelephone, until
the FCC deregulated that as well back in 1985. Now it is just a General
Radiotelephone licence, which is required only in a handful of
circumstances. And then try to get one today!! The exam is given under a
similar structure as the ham licence VEC program, but not the same. And it
costs $100+ for an attempt.
It's too bad the FCC ran short of money and had to curtail a lot of its
activities. Now I just call then the Gettysburg Address.

Probably so. I'm formerly KA2UZK, expired, but hoping to re-test
and renew this spring.

I think someone hit him with the Wouff-hong.

I'm personally looking forward to the new rules - I got a "know code"
technician in 1992 and plan to bump myself up to at least general since
I already have the 5 wpm. I'd been wanting to get a ticket for a while,
my father was one in the '50s, but he let his lapse. The final straw
was the depletion of the "N8" call sign - I got N8TVD, as I said earlier.
My younger brother got N8YKN. AFAIK, techs around here get "KC8" calls now.

Does anyone know how to connect an ASR-33 Teletype to a DG Nova 2? Also, does anyone know the communications settings for the Nova 2? I have a ADM-3A Terminal, and according to a book that came with my Nova, my particular machine was host to one.
Thanks,
Owen
