[GreenKeys] TTY Demo at Dayton in 2010?

[Jack]

The Chemical City TU was in the Wayne Green TAB RTTY handbook and also
was an article in CQ. Sort of a variation on the W2JAV TU which
was an improved W2PAT design.
I met W2PAT when I met K2AGI at a Bell Labs retirement dinner.
I was flabbergasted to meet two "RTTY Legends" at one time!
This was around 1990.
Talk about legends...Byron, W2JTP, tuned up my first set of
toroids...I was using a single filter in my Twin Cities TU
using an audio output tranformer primary with a paralled
capacitor. Amazingly, it worked fine. Byron was happy
to help a 15-year-old RTTY'er.

I'm familiar with Twin Cities and I guess you mean W2PAT, but what is
Chem City?

Sadly, a lot of the younger generation thinks RTTY began with Irv
Hoff,
probably because of his series of articles in QST.  There was a lot of
great stuff done in earlier years.  I worked W2PAT on PSK just a few
years
ago, and assume he is still living.
