[GreenKeys] Speaking about ITTY...

[Steve Garrison]

I want to see ITTY and AUTOSTART circuits kept up and running and Nick, N0NCQ, was probably referring to me when he metioned getting TTY text messaging running  for his machines.  Costs are not very high, a phone number from Twilio is $1.00/month and an fractions of a cent for each message.  The biggest issue is a cloud server, or one of your own if you have the resources to run a LAMP stack on.  LAMP is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Python.  My Digital Ocean cloud server costs $5.00/month.  So after it is all setup your talking $72.00/year plus the message charges.

Just curious about something. We know many people like and use ITTY. But it seems lately a fair (and growing) number of people don’t want ITTY. They want a different solution. 

 

May I ask what people are seeking? Is it the desire to experiment (always fun and encouraged!), or the need for a private closed system with your own content, or the desire to avoid the RTTY/audio aspects of ITTY, or something else? 

 

A number of us work hard to keep ITTY going as a reliable AFSK/RTTY type of capability. We need to keep tabs on what our listeners want and we need to be watchful for that day, should it come (egad!), when ITTY is no longer wanted or useful.
