Various VIC-20 carts for Ham radio operators
Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2020 6:45 pm
During my recent visit to Ray Carlsen, he gave me a big box of software, mostly VIC-20 cartridges. I finally sat down to look at them, and there were a bunch of cartridges that I had never heard of. I showed them at our Sunday FCUG meeting, and our club expert in ham radio declared that the carts were for ham radio operators. The typewritten labeling said that all of the carts were from Kustom Computer Response, Rt. 1, Box 57A, Helotes, Texas 78023. All of them seemed programmed by Harry M. Crouse. All of them were from 1987 and were either marked SN #1 or SN #2. Here is a list of the carts --

CQWPXTEST
CQWPXTEST - CW
QCWA LOG CW (with additional cassette marked W5GSQ)
Most of them came with printed BASIC listings, and one or two came with instructions.
I have given over the carts to our club expert so he could study them. He says that because the call sign is still there, perhaps the ham operator is still around.
I will post a photo of one of the carts later.
