[GreenKeys] the rtty blues (still)

[gil smith]

Hi Wayne:

I am in Arizona (I used to live in Minneapolis).

My radio, and tty machines, are at the office.  I can do some late
afternoon listening, but the evenings are out.

Where are the Canadian broadcasts you have found?  Anything on the west side?

A Vic-20 driving your M19 -- that's an interesting combination of obsolete
hardware.  Maybe I can get my Osborne-1 in the setup somehow.
