Cool idea.   We use this method at work, dunno why I never thought to use it like this.

Interesting application of bicycle chain segments....I'll bet it works great!
Next thing I knew....I had read most of that magazine!

Also on page 48....I noticed that UK operators had to 'license' their transmitters to an address...likely a holdover from WWll.
Hopefully...that is no longer required.
For me...that mag was an enjoyable read for a change....dunno if there is anything like it today.

Dave, do you remember when the FCC sent you two licenses in one.  An operator license with your call and the address of your station, considered a station license.  I forget when that changed, sometime around the elimination of log books.
