When someone keyed and unkeyed the repeater the result really was a loud "kerchunk" at the site. It led to what we now call "courtesy delays" -- the idea being if there was another transmission soon after the first the transmitter would not have to drop and pick up again. It saved tubes as well as relays. 73, Bob, WA9FBO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
