In December of 1951, CQ Magazine ran the first official  column dedicated 
to Amateur Radioteletype. The column moderator was an  unknown 
from Cleveland, Wayne Green, W2NSD. 
Amateur Radio Radioteletype interest started  around 
1946, with RTTY only allowed on 11 Meters and up.  The 
only method for RTTY on the lowbands was  "make-and-break" 
keying where you basically plugged your  keyboard 
into your rig's key jack. FSK was allowed in the early  50's. 
The first TTY machines were Teletype Model 12's.  The 
Model 12's generated so much electrical noise with  its 
multiple distributors that it wasn't a good candidate  for 
the lowbands anyway. 
Almost all RTTY activity in those days was on 2  Meters.
