[GreenKeys] CRLF or not CRLF?

[David Tumey]

Jeff,
Why not require that the Terminal Unit you describe use Vacuum Tubes only, no solid state devices, no fancy transistors, etc.
In my mind this all seemed so simple:  You are either using a Teletype to send/receive RTTY or you are not.  I don't see how using a KAM or MFJ (Like I do) or HAL ST-8000A, etc. makes any difference.

Just my opinion, but if you're going to have a special "machine" only 
category,
then it should mean exactly that.

Radio <-> Terminal Unit <-> Mechanical TTY machine.
And by terminal unit, I mean a modem, no data processing.
Sorry folks, this means no using a Kantronics KAM with a model 33 ASR.

I haven't read the ARRL RTTY Roundup rules lately, so I can't say with 
certainty
that it is limited to 60 WPM Baudot, so folks with a model 33 might be 
able to
participate with ASCII at 110 baud.

I just read the rules:
(Baudot RTTY, ASCII, AMTOR, PSK31 and Packet—attended operation only)

I you insist on having "macros" (as they are now referred to) I would 
also assume
these are limited to paper tape, not something like Fldigi running in 
parallel on
the loop.

Oh, and of course, extra point for working machine to machine. ;-)
