I am 24 in teletype years (5 level => base 32 notation)

I'd visited hams using RTTY back in the early 60's and used M33s on computers in the 70's, but wasn't at all interested until I developed this fascination with US Navy Radio Communications about 8 years ago. Bill Strangfeld gave me a 28ASR needing restoration and I swore that would be the only Teletype I'd ever need or want........and then somehow the neurons started firing and the endorphins started pumping (or, more likely, insanity struck). Thanks to greenkeyers and the "encouragement" of Bill and my pal John Poulton K4OZY, I now have about twenty M28 machines of various flavors (and one USN Mite) that I have gotten running in my "Basement NAVCOMMSTA"

and there are another dozen or so M28 machines on the project shelves. What fun!

Hello all,

The query posted about any Greenkeyers "under 40" made me curious...

That's a real dangerous thing for me. 

What is the age range of Greenkeyers on here? 

Can we identify who our tribal elders are, and who are the "tenderfoots"?

I'll go first. I'm 56, grew up around model 15's and forgot them completely 

when I was in high school. I rediscovered all this when I turned 54. So I am

slowly returning to childhood!

I'm probably the youngest Greenkeyer. That being said, if it is indeed so, 

would make me the "cub", and the go-fer for the rest of you guys. What 

better place to be, than lowliest of all, and student of all... I may not have 

come from your era, but I can continue the madness!

 

OK. Any others? It can't be any more embarrassing. I waded in first!

73!

Mark
