Lots of people remember the
Cray-1A. And how could you not, it was a supercomputer with
built-in seats. But Chris Fenton has done more than just reminisce, he
he built his own 1/10 scale Cray-1A. It's not just a model, it actually runs Cray software. The only problem is there doesn't seem to be much Cray software on the net, so if you have some let him know.

I first heard of a 'Paraset' when I saw a message on the
QRP-L reflector announcing an upcoming '
June 6th Paraset D-Day' activity. A search for more information soon revealed that the Paraset was a small vacuum-tube transmitter-receiver unit built during WWII in the UK at the
Whaddon Hall headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service Communications Unit. Known officially as the '
Whaddon Mark VII', the units were either air-dropped by parachute or carried, by the jumpers themselves, into many of the occupied countries of western Europe. . .
