[GreenKeys] Autostart Channel has become the Continuous channel

[Thomas Tillson]

Hi Russ et al.:
 
First let me apologize for the multiple resending of stories on autostart.
 
Due to a technical glitch, autostart kept repeating that story.
 
The reason it was not caught was that MY autostart monitor was in the shop for repairs.  :-)
 
You are correct that Today in history was running to often, I was just trying 3 times a day as a test of the system.
 
Now that Greenkeys is on auto, and more people are listening, perhaps I should cut back on it to perhaps twice a day?
 
How about 0800 and 1400 EST?
 
If you notice, I try to get TIH and itty stories done before 0800 EST if possible as I have things to do in the morning.
 
The autostart channel is there for all to use and enjoy whether it be for testing of machines, communications, or just having fun.
 
As for art, I could do that - as you say one only once in a while.
 
While I have the floor, I would like to thank all who responded to the "survey" and all suggestions will be looked into. And thanks to all who listen to make ITTY possible.
 
Tom Tillson

This is just my opinion... 
The Autostart Channel - what used to be an occasional use channel with multiple copies during the day of AP - Today in History
and a welcome addition of the messages from Greenkeys seems to have recently changed to be a seemingly unlimited 
set of very long messages with the topic of American Revolution that seems to run over and over. 
 
I'd like to suggest that maybe there is a limit to the number of times a particular "History" topic runs during the day.  Perhaps,
AP Today in History at a preset time but only once or twice and then the unfiltered Greenkeys messages. Maybe some other occasional topics.  I like the RTTY ART pictures but only one-a-day please except on special occasions that are pre-announced and have been so
successful during the December Holidays. 
 
I'd has to mute the Autostart channel tonight after coming down to find yards of paper with what seems to be the same
American Revolution topic played over and over again.   Is this really necessary?  
 
Please, can we discuss this?  Maybe a survey of what we, as a group, would like to see on the Autostart channel?  I love the Greenkeys messages and I love the Today in History (and I share it with my grandkids who have a curiosity in my teleprinters) but when the channel starts to run as often as it has been today, the Autostart channel has become the Continuous channel.
 
Thanks for listening.
