Hi Fellows, As long as we are telling stories of things, I had laid my 2 meter mic between the radio and a tape recorder and pushed the key, unintentionally. I was laying on the bed in the next room talking to my wife. I ain't saying what we were discussing but it was getting right interesting. The phone rang and I reluctantly went and answered it. The county EC told me I had my radio keyed. I said thanks and went and released it. The first thing Gordon said to me in a loud voice was, "TURKEY!" A few weeks later, I received a certificate from The Turkey Group International for testing the final amplifier stage with full power output, 10 watts, While talking in the background, etc. 73 or 88.
