Some years back I tried to promote a "green key night" around February
20 to celebrate the date when hams were first allowed to use FSK on the
HF bands. There were no rules, but use a mechanical TTY if you can,
use 850 Hz shift if you can, it's not a contest, just make contacts
and have fun. Participation was highly limited. I suppose one reason
is that Feb 20 usually falls on a week day. Back in ancient times
RTTY magazine sponsored the first RTTY contests, one being the
"anniversary" contest on the weekend nearest Feb 20.
