I was on 60 meteres last nite for a while.

Talked to a guy outside of Detroit.  He was a commo man in the navy and knew the 15's and 28's.  He knew the greenkeys thing too.

I was telling him about reading the manual on the UGC-74B and trying to make it print character by character instead of a line at a time.  I can xmit char to char no problem...it gives you a choice in the menu.

Anyway, he sez he did WAS on rtty and he, like me, built his first TU with telco torroids and 12AU7's.  I guess we've all been thru that.

I whinned to him that it seems like there's so few machines on the air and most all are "glass".  He sez, yes, he went glass too!!  He also mentioned that the Model 28's he worked on were running in 1961.  It was at that point I came to realize, I must be living in the distant past.  I'm shocked.
