[GreenKeys] www.RTTY.com (was RTTY Art?)

[Mark T. Regan, K8MTR]

I could not get to www.RTTY.com for most of last week. I was trying to get
to it from my motel room (Residence Inn), while I was out of town. But even
as of this morning (08:30 EDT) back home, I was not able to either until
just a few minutes ago.

Hi Ralph:

Are you able to see that URL?
I ask because most people have found www.RTTY.com to be down.

Have Fun,
