[GreenKeys] Dayton Hamvention

[roy wildermuth]

Hello Group,

The AWA Museum has a great interest in Teletype. One of our staff members,
Duncan Brown is a regular contributor to this group. Duncan and I have
driven all over NY State and waded through some serious mud in the search of
the elusive holy grail.

Now I am asking you all to consider that The AWA Convention is a very TTY
and CW  friendly event. Last year we had Jim Wade from the American Morse
Club.They put on a world class exhibit of traditional land line Morse
equipment.

I can promise that if any group wants to put on a display this year in
Rochester, that we will be most accommodating and very grateful.

Please contact me if you are interested.
