Amen, God only knows how many guys Jack has helped with TTY's,
facilitating acquisition of machines, parts or information.

 

Congratulations Joe, hope to see you on the air.

 

Dave, WW8S

You have no idea how sad we folks on the east coast were when we
learned that Jack had moved West!  But our loss is your gain!
Congrats!

Eugene

Today, I obtained my first teletype unit that I have had in over
twenty years. It is a beautiful ASR 28, courtesy of Jack WA2HWJ. The
two of us got it loaded into the bed of my Nissan, and my niece's
boyfriend and I managed to get it into my shack safely. Plugged it in
and it works fine. (It survived the trip, hihi.) I am going to have a
friend of mine who works in the automotive upholstery business make a
dust cover out of heavy denim for it, though if I have my way, it will
be running more than not, so it won't be covered all that much!

 

The first thing that I will concentrate on now is to get an RS-232 to
current loop converter and get it running on Heavy Metal. (Now I know
why they call it 'heavy metal'...)

 

The next thing that I will do is to get the TT/L-2 TU that I also
obtained from Jack running. I will need to go through the unit and
replace the electrolytic caps in the powersupply. I do not want to
burn up those transformers. I will post some images later tonight on
photobucket for your viewing pleasure.

 

I am interested in finding out who built the TT/L-2 as it was very
professionally built, far better than anything that I could manage to
construct from scratch. I am very impressed with that unit.

 

I do want to specifically thank Jack WA2HWJ for his generosity and
help with getting me going in 'real' RTTY. I hope by this summertime
to be on HF with a solid, genuine electromechanical RTTY signal, and
hope to be able to QSO with as many of you on Greenkeys as I can.

 

Best and 73,

 

Joe KB0TXC /NNNN
