[GreenKeys] Looking to Buy First Teletype

[Harold Hallikainen]

Good luck! These are amazing machines. When in high school about 50 years
ago, I ran RTTY with a model 15, model 14 TD, and model 14 typing reperf.
I just got another model 15 running and am working on getting it on the
air. Ideally someone else on the list will answer with a machine in your
area. I know that someone on the list as USB loop keyers available. I have
a list of available equipment that has shown up on the list at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I6TgY5PEQ35c6IVqWWrV5lmEvdRVZxkj8FaYxUj87qM/edit?usp=sharing
. It has not been updated in a while, and I don't see anything close to
Florida.

Other list members, please let me know of updates to the equipment list.

THANKS!
