[GreenKeys] Neat "find"...

[Randy or Sherry Guttery]

This of course has nothing to do with anything of value today - but I 
thought it "neat"...  Sherry was going through some old papers over the 
weekend - and came across some old index cards... One of them had on it:

UPI ENGLISH BROADCASTS FROM NEW YORK TO S. AMERICA
16372.5KHZ
1500-1530  ZULU
1800-1930   "
2000-2230   "

This had to be from the 70s, likely 73-75 (Guam) or more likely 
(considering the source) 76-78 Newport News, VA.  The interesting thing 
I thought - was that it's print is from a TTY. At first I was thinking 
"how on earth did she feed that through the 28?" - then the old brain 
slowly churned around - "Oh, yeah - the TT-117."  The Klienschmidt - 
with it's friction platen - often doubled for a typewriter "back in the 
day"...

Don't guess UPI is up on 18 meters any more...
