Yeah, V3XDB from GWA there, said, yeah, all noted on the lane, it's been raining for a couple of weeks, and your high teens and low 20s. And yeah, my experience of the CW, straight CW keys strapped to the leg, I never did it myself, but I totally agree with some of the CW quality that was generated. But I just think if I tried it, you know, it would have been just totally unreadable completely. And how some of those people actually did it anywhere near reasonable, I just don't know. Maybe they lived in the middle of nowhere with no other vehicles on the road. But to try and do that these days, especially around here, would be taking your life in your own hands there. It's not just going to happen. You just can't concentrate enough on driving and sending CW with a key on your thigh there, on your leg. But yeah, it was good fun, nevertheless, trying to work those stations. A long time ago now, I don't know if you've heard of anybody trying it recently, but they were all World War II type Morskeys they were. And going back to the early 80s, something like that. And yeah, you're on that logger. No, I can't see you. Okay, a VE6 PR3, let's just put on there. Dyna motors. The plane had 24 volt batteries, so two Dyna motors were connected in series. One for the receiver that generated about 350 volts, and one for the transmitter that generated 1200 volts. The motors were made by the Hoover Company in England. Hoover was, I don't know if it was the same factory, but their headquarters were up in Merford, Tidwell. About 22 miles northwest of here. Anyway, back to you there Doug, before I time out. VE3XDB, GW8S, set out, and thanks for that there click on the blue screen on that logger.
