[GreenKeys] ARRL RTTY contest

[Jay WS7I]

Sure glad all of you guys are using the internet to send all of these 
interesting comments on my recent  RTTY Roundup Article in _QST_.  Kinda 
odd that some aren't still using Quill pen's and the US Mail.

Guess 'ol Bill Henry is rolling on his floor after he put out the Hal 
Communicatons  DS-3100 Electronic RTTY Terminal over 30 years ago.

Again glad you enjoyed my writeup and if you like go to the ARRL webpage 
and read the full writeup which is much longer!    The over 600,000 
contacts made during the 30 hour period shows that RTTY is still a mode 
with long history teletype (tm) and all and used in today's RTTY 
contesting.  Kinda reminds me of the 3,000,000 messages that I helped 
pass at CRS Vietnam back in 1967 on the old 28's.  Was that really that 
long ago...

Odd since I am on the bands nearly every day that I print so few of you 
"Greenkeyers" on the actual air, but you're sure on the internet a lot.  
But alas I am also on the message systems more since the old autostart 
that Mike N7RY ran seems to have gone away with the band changes.

Who still receives on a variety of TU's from ST-5, ST-6, to the latest 
Hal DSP4200.  Still doing 850 Hz shift reception nearly every day as 
well on the old R-390 as ARMY MARS broadcasts come out several times a day.
