Dave,
That's certainly how we used to do Ham rallies with BARTG, except it was
a cassette recorder - long before iPods etc. The TU was the good old
BARTG version of the ST5 for polar keying and the printer was a Creed
75RO. One of the committee made up the demo paper tape and played it
through the 6S tape reader into the TU and recorded the output.
Cheers,
Sam
