I will also try my hand at this November’s FMT. My first attempt at the FMT was back in the early 60’s from my home in Rochester, NY. I used a home brew counter that used a dozen 12AU7’s with NE2 readouts. It used a start gate that had to be manually started. At the end of the count I would

You might also be interested in the 2005 analysis page (linked from the URL above) -- some statistical analysis indicates that W1AW was actually about 0.4 Hz off in the frequency they reported on 160M. What are the theoretical limits? If I only have N seconds of a signal, that sets a

I would tend to agree on the copyright concerns. I'm retired from HP/Agilent, and happen to know the guys that do the support on them, so I just forwarded these messages to one of them. Perhaps we can get a solid OK, or at least one with such strings attached! Daun N8ASB -Original

The CPU board is shared with the 8566B, but the firmware is completely different. The images on the Blue Feather FTP archive are from my previous 8568B. Poul, if you need a set of them burned for you, drop me a line off-list with your address... be glad to send you some. Note that the part
