[GreenKeys] No KSM RTTY 4/26

[Richard Dillman]

As some listeners may be very well aware, there will be no KSM RTTY broadcast today, 26 April.

We had planned to send our usual press and weather but also planned to include special text encrypted with the M-209 cypher machine for crypto enthusiasts to decipher.

All was going well until Steve Hawes, our Sr. Transmitter Engineer and manager of the RTTY broadcasts, awoke today wit a 104 degree fever.  As much as he wanted to and as sorry as he was to disappoint our listeners there was no way he could make it the transmitting station.

However we hope Steve is recovered by next weekend, 3 May.  Our intention is to carry out that broadcast as planned.  We'll let you know if there's any change in plan as the date nears.
