As a matter of fact I still have a Durst projector....I did B/WI looked at my wallet card....it expired...and spent last night on the FCC ULS searching for renewal. What I got is blank 'reference copy' indicating my PRIMARY license had been renewed and WB2SGT is good till the year 2016. Commercial license is lifetime. Hundred bucks for a stupid key? WHO NEEDS A STRAIGHT KEY that looks like Theodore Vail used? A Signal Corps J-38 key goes for fourty bucks at a flea market! PINBALL FLIPPER CONTACTS work just as well. One seventy for a standard Vibroplex? I wish I bought one of those gold plated NYC made suckers years ago. I somewhere have a few Johnson (the radio company) J-38s that fell out of packaging of radio transmitters sent to Saudi Arabia...they didn't need them....ain't no Arabic CW.....maybe I should donate to JAPON....they had used KANA during the war. I so olde....remembering being pissed off with runs of paper on the floor because I found a HF circuit that was third shift Cyrillic RTTY. I scrapped all of my Kleinschmidt teleprinters but still hang on to my found prize of Dayton 1977.....MITE R/O teleprinter. The sound of a machined steel TELETYPE along with the odor of ink and oil can never be replaced by a soundcard. Look up ENGCOM.com Nice site. INTERACTIVE slide rule. 'You know you're and old engineer when.........you attached a document to a steel drum with springs, dialed up for carrier and hit send.' |
