[GreenKeys] RTTY contact - at last !

[Teletypeparts]

Yeah, auto CR and LF are great!  Wish they made the option for 32's.  I have never seen it, but it might exist.  

I am running my present 32 on a board (no laughing!) as I dont have a base pan or cover.  It gives me access to the manual CR and of course I have the platen knob for LF.  I am very busy when I run RTTY.  Could use another hand.  I know, I should get a 28, but I have parts etc only for 32 and 33's so I get by.  Some glass hams slow everything down when I tell them I have a real TTY.  Some kind of slow mode that usually includes a CR and LF.  Not sure what the mode is as I dont use any computer programs on RTTY.  

On a slightly different subject, I once made a QSO when the DE operator was running split.  My radio doesnt do split (Kenwood TS 520S), but I quickly moved the dial back and forth for the brief contact.  Was fun one time anyway.  

73,

Not a problem if you have added auto carriage return and non-overline to your teleprinter.

 Steve,
 
 Some "glass" RTTY folks dont have the patience for us with a real TTY, but 
ost who are running computer programs seem pleased to QSO with a real Teletype 
achine.  A novelty for them.  Just not in a contest.

Except you always have to ask them to send CR/NL at the end of lines :)
