[GreenKeys] WUTco 2B Strip Printer

[John J Mccarty]

The 2B here got another outing at a Girl Scout demo about three weeks ago. Take
the cover off, use a ST-6 TU and set up a RTTY circuit on 2 meters with a local
ham. The kids love it. It's really amazing to me that with a very little
explanation the kids can take off and have a keyboard qso even though they have
 never used the 3 level keyboard before. Most have taken a course in "touch
typing" for computers.

Best quote heard from one of the girls "This is so much neater that im or text
messaging"

P.S. Thanks Don (rht) for the tape. Still going strong.
