Anyone wired a self latching or other type of anti-theft kill switch ?
My RIP engineer buddy was, like me, a radio amateur. He was also a Maritime radio operator for Scripps Institute of Oceanography. He could "copy" CW (Morse Code) in his head at about 45 WPM.
Anyhow, in the early 70;s he built himself a decoder that read the brake light switch electrical output. In order to start the truck, you had to send a couple of letters, slow, with your foot in Morse
On a side note, "Q" codes, shorthand entended for CW/ Morse use, also have "fun fake" ones
One of my favorites was QBS? Which means "Are you full of Bull Sh*t?"
The answer, "R" for "roger" is "Yes, I am full of Bull Sh*t"
But the one that fits THIS story is "QLF?" which means "are you sending with your left foot?"
