This'll be the key that can talk across the North Atlantic on 5 ton or thereabouts?

Hmmm! Makee workee for poor old junior sparklette.
Love the wiring. Hope your insurance is up to date. (EEK)

A very early number. I bet that's seen some action. Mine's 11677 and definitely not polished. Too many bad memories. (Sad)

One cannot have "posh" wiring and have a keying cct and desentising cct
WORKING at the same time you know, especially when wired up at near midnight
the day before Marconi day ready for the "Atlantic window" at about 0130 and done by the light of the "Emergency light" and that of the silvery moon!!
It will be sorted though in the near future no problems.
In the meantime-----Brasso and Duraglit forever!! Ha-Ha. cheers ftf
