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

[Wa3frp]

Hi All, 
Some additional thoughts.  I wonder if some of the folks in the "Boatanchors" list might be interested in this proposed on-the-air activity.
And, there was an event called the "AM Rally" - http://www.amrally.com/
If you go to the AM Rally Webpage, you will note that there is a way to log any contacts via an Excel spreadsheet and an outline for awarding points that might apply to this proposed "Green Keys Night".
Thanks 73

I would certainly promote this to the general RTTY community. I would even implore QST to post a special announcement. And I think they might. 
Maybe we do a couple test runs sometime soon, and pick a date or dates.

I'm not sure how many of the folks on Greenkeys are licensed Amateur radio Operators with the capability to get on-the-air.
If we want to get traction for this type of event, I suggest that we have monthly sessions to build support and learn by doing.

Long time ago I was trying to stir up a "Green Key Night" for RTTYers.
Not a contest, no rules, but use mechanical TTY if you can, and use
850 Hz shift if you can and care to and have fun.  I tried to have it
on Feb 23rd which is the anniversary of the date the FCC first allowed
hams to use FSK on the HF bands.  Got very little participation - maybe
I should have tried for a weekend instead.  I felt like Linus in Peanuts
going house to house trying to tell people about the Great Pumpkin.
