It's been way too long since I was on the air with a real machine.
As a  hint, it was on 2 meter AFSK AM 145.850 MHz.

I used to drive the guys in the round table nuts because I'd buffer my
replies with the Model 19 tape punch, then hit send. I could go for
about 5 minutes (typing at 45-50 WPM before I'd run out of tape
and quit so my entire reply would go out at 60 WPM.

There was always one guy that did the real time hunt and peck. I
think it would drive all of us nuts waiting for each letter trying to guess
what he was going to say.
