Greetings, Lester. As far as I can tell it has been decades since a real Telex line was available in the States. Is TWX via a voice channel still available?
We are installing our own point-to-point TTY circuit between the KSM transmit and receive sites for use as an order wire. We were also hoping for a way to connect to the outside world via Telex to recreate the Telex lines that the station once had. Henning has kindly forwarded information about his system which looks promising as a way to do this.
Best,
RD
