[GreenKeys] About a "Straight Key Night" for RTTY

[Paul Heller]

Straight key night is a new term for me. What is that?

I can guess. I am not a contester. I don’t like the 2 second interaction and on to the next. So yes, I like your idea (assuming my guess is correct). 

Now if I can only get a working dipole up.
