My old cat Tinker , long gone SK now.
Used to sit on the so called Silence Case.
And jumped every time the Creed 5B done a CR.
She never understood that .
Bloody noisy with the cover on even.

I first got away from the 5B when I build the G3PLX RTTY solid
state RTTY unit.
I remember there were about  30 to 40 Ics.
I part done an etched board and part wire wrapped it.
NO CAD in those days.
It worked all but one part.I could not work out why.
I rang Peter PLX..Explained the fault.
UUUMMM ARRRRRRR..Oh yes..you have no volts on such and
such section of the memory " he said "
He was so right.

Yes ok on BMK... It was good software.
But I liked Peters better ( WHOs)

Real good old days really. But as they say " you had to be there "

In passing Stephen my eldest lad ( now 49 this month ) wrote the first
SSTV program for the BBC..
He was circa 22 then, He done quite well out of it lol.

AHHHHHHHHH Memories.
