[GreenKeys] 2017 RTTY Round Up

[Wayne Durkee]

Dave,

I thought it might be this weekend as there is another RTTY event running. Thanks for the update.

I worked on my 32 RTTY machine yesterday. Cleaned the typewheel, Got to have neat print of course. Some routine oiling while the cover was off. Installed a nice new SMD card thanks to Jim Haynes. I now have a spare SMD and the long board that runs under a WU Telex dial unit.

Dont wear out those 33's next weekend. Actually it shouldnt be any strain at all on one 33 to type that long.
