 From our time in Guam - 1/73 - 12/75 ---

Most of the news services were 60WPM (UPI, AP, etc.).  
Sometimes Reuters and Tass were European standard - copyable 
at 67.
All of the military were 100WPM (Mostly Coast Guard- though 
some weather was also 100WPM).
MARS depended on where from - Saigon was mostly 100WPM - 
some of the smaller "out lying" posts were 60WPM.

Our Transmission kit was a gift from Teletype Corporation, 
specifically for our purpose. I have no idea what 75 would 
be for - sure wasn't used by the military or any of our 
"stuff" of interest.

best regards...
