[GreenKeys] Congratulations on your success!

[Don Robert House]

Jan,

I am happy that you have been successful in getting on the air.  Not 
being a amateur radio operator (aka HAM) I do not have the 
capabilities to transmit via Radio Teletype.  A No-Code license would 
not allow me on the HF bands, so at some point I will have to learn 
the damn MORSE code which has done nothing over the years except give 
me a headache.

I am also not able to copy other HAMs as the ST-6 I have has been 
damaged in transit and the one Dovetron I have here does not output 
even though it shows a signal.  The only working ST-6 is at our 
museum 2200 miles away.  Someday when George has the time I am sure 
he will send me the Dovetron I ordered through his friend some time 
ago.  In the meantime I will have to keep happy caring for my Model 
28s and using them in a local loop.

Here at my home in Illinois I have a Model 28ASR (with dome-mounted 
ROTR), a 28KSR, a 28RO, and a 28ROTR, all with gear shifts installed. 
I also have a UGC-74, as well as a 35ASR and a 43KSR.

On another subject I have called the Steele Rubber Company and they 
are interested in reproducing the print hammers for model 32s, 33s, 
and 38s.  They will also look into the print hammers for the model 
28, 35, and 37 reperforators.   I am sending them samples and 
detailed dimensions.  I will keep you informed of my progress, if any.

In the mean time, if you are really hard up for a NOS 32/33/38 print 
hammer,  I have located a source, the price is somewhat high at 
$20.00 each.

All the best...

Happy New Year

Don

P.S. What is the meaning for 599 ?
