Nice recording, Jay, and thank you for that.

It is obvious that you are using considerable selectivity, plus I find it very interesting how 
badly the SAQ transmitter drifts whenever the key is held down. I had thought that the 
Alexanderson Alternator was more stable than that.

The signal quality is very good, though. No chirp or drift at normal keying speeds.
