Yeah, Steve, tell 'em

back in those days, CW nets, 60wpm tty and facimile was received on a rotating drum loaded with heat sensitive paper and a hot stylus that worked (heated up) off the rf input to draw a picture...yeehaaa

I would much rather see more effort put into "mission essential" items than micro-managing the crew and their tours of daily duty...which was/ and is deligated to lower ranks...then again, some folks thrive on nit-noy. I've yet to read a Boat's War Log where the Captain spoke of rotating the shifts.
