[GreenKeys] Something interesting over on ePay...

[Duncan Brown]

The M26 was in production from 1937-1949, so it was a "WWII era" 
machine, even if not used by the military.

Amateur radio RTTY started about 1950, so his father could have used the 
M26 on the ham bands from c1950 to c2000.

What is fishy?
