You win, i think. Drat, drat and double drat!
If I'd only kept that SW receiver I built in 1972, or the transmitter my brother built in the 60s complete with vacuum tubes.
So anyone ever use any of the HAM radio options in the kernel? And what's up with that anyway? What use is HAM radio to a computer? Computer generated Morse code? Like there's any living mortal that could translate that! Now using a Linux computer to track a model rocket's statistics, that would be useful! I need to get out and do some model rocketry. Any local places to shoot off some really *BIG* suckers? I know they've got something out Kansas way, but can't remember where. But something up NorthEast here would be nice. Want to get my grandkids involved (ugh, grandfather at 34!).

... As for the contest in ancient tech- I may be a placeholder by there possibly being an asr-33 in the bowels of my storage barn unless it got thieved by former staff ! That asr had been used as a paper tape drive for a swtp 6800 my classmate inherited in 1982. IIRC the data was comma separated hard fielded ascii that would not be too hard to read today.
