[GreenKeys] The Wednesday Evening Project Big Bird Report

Wed, 26 Feb 2003 19:12:48 -0800

Hi to George and the group,

I'm sure I speak for most of us on the list when I say how anxious we are to
play with our new toy!

Is there a web site where we can read up on these units to learn a bit about
them in anticipation of integrating them into our RTTY systems?  Are new
Dovetron units still sold?

And, does anybody know how much a unit cost the gov't when purchased (or
should I say 'we taxpayers...hi hi).

Regards,

Richard N7HH in Milwaukie, OR

Ham for 41 years....LOVE RTTY
