[GreenKeys] RTTY ART RESEARCH

[pacquerat at comcast.net]

While rumaging through an overful pouch of tty tapes and printouts I found a printout that may have potential leads to one or many lost RTTY art archives.

This 3 foot long print out is from N8ERI, ISAACS, RICHARD S.,115 Westrock Farm Rd., UNION, OH 45322. The copy was on 40 meters January 20th 1986, 12:44:26 EST. Done at my QTH S. Dartmouth MA

The printout is essentially a list of RTTY art in page form stored in computer memory and available for automatic transmission by activating the receiver with the characters ERIZW.

I have a piece of "page 57, all of 58, and 67. The pages are not sequential as the individual print out were requested by others. I was "reading the mail".

Each page list has a reference number for the individual RTTY art image that was used to request the automated N8ERI to transmit. For example:

NO.               TITLE                             AUTHOR     OVERLINE     BYTES

PX1481   ANGEL AND THE SHEPARD   K2AGI            YES            14.9K

There about 40 such art listings on what I have as copy. I have not attemped to reach N8ERI. I do applaud his efforts so long ago to not only make his archive available but also to give credit to the sources. I have no idea how large his archive was, seeing I had but a slice at page 67. I do not know what become of the ART project. Note on the print out N8ERI states QTH as Gilead Ohio.

Interesting.....
