[GreenKeys] Two RTTY compatible laptops available

Sat Mar 10 12:15:53 EST 2007

i have two laptops available at more than modest prices for anyone wanting a 
spare to do field day or experiments or a dedicated mobile operation.  Both 
work.

The Toshiba has both floppy, CD-Rom, pcmcia net and modem cards and will run 
XP but will breath better if you run W2K or Linux. There is no power supply 
for it and the battery needs replacing;

the Dell has a hot-swappable DVD-RW/+/-, relatively new battery, power 
supply, spare CD-rom, True-mobile pcmcia card, 100mb pcmcia net card, case, 
etc.

Both use the large 14" screens and have all the I/O variations you could 
possibly want for the changing RTTY technologies (serial, parallel, USB, 
built in modems, audio, and the Dell has S-Vga out).  No price set on the 
Toshiba at present; I want $350 for the Dell package and I'm losing an easy 
$1000 at that.  The Toshiba's internal CD-Rom & floppy give it the edge on 
ham media & portable media.

if interested contact me to discuss price, delivery, etc. or offer something 
worthwhile in trade. I'll trade the Toshiba for any working DSP unit.  I'll 
trade the Dell for a decent 1.6-30mhz differential antenna tuner.

Digest members have precedence.

Wayne,

I have still not taken my Element 3 exam.  I am studying in the
evenings.  As soon as I get my General and an antenna up I will try
to contact you.

Sorry for waiting so long to get this into the mailbox.  Would like
to share
my fun of the last few weeks.

I took my Morse code test Feb 19th.  I sure would have liked to pass
it.  I
might have been last one to pass.  Unfortunately, I failed by ONE
letter.  Oh
well....

Another VE session was done for me the same night and I was upgraded to
General class on Friday the 23 along with 3 or 4 others locally.  I
only had 2 days
grace time since I passed my Element 3 test last year on Feb 25th.

Since then I have made some contacts on HF.  A few on SSB and one on
CW (not
pretty).  And lastly of more interest to this forum, I made a RTTY
one with
WA2HWJ in NY.

I am looking for some RTTY contacts from you Greenkeyers.  I can work 20
meters very well thanks to an antenna tuner and 40 meters as well.  I
am running
about 30-40 watts power on RTTY into a fixed dipole with best
direction north
and south from my location in Vermont.  60 wpm baudot only.  Using a
32 ASR
with 60 wpm gears.

I dont think I can get to the west coast too well, but will try
anything.

Any takers?

Again, thanks for the encouragement from all here for the past year.

Peter,

You can get black wrinkle paint from a number of sources.  In recent years
I've bought what little I needed from Antque Electronics Supply.  Newark 
might
still carry it.  And I'm told that Harley-Davidson dealers do.

I have WW-II Signal Corps green wrinkle available.  Not the same as Western
Union pea green but would be a better base coat than black for putting a 
thin
color coat over.

Yes, the yellow green could be a primer.
I have never seen a base other than black.

It looks like the base color was a sickly green, then it was painted
black, then sloppily painted with a very thick green.  The base could
possibly have been a primer?
