Hello LF,

What constitutes an "appliance operator"?

I've just listened to a 5 minute CQ call on 502.6kHz (almost fell
asleep during it)....zzzzZZZZzzz....Zzzz...

Am I right in thinking that this was manually sent, with a straight key?

Or was some sort of electronic appliance involved?

It almost seemed like, shock horror, a beacon mode transmission....
