Here's my story.
Around 1972, I was working at Signal One in Gardena.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal/One>
Ed Jay the owner walks up to me with a Model 15 on a cart.
"Our sales brochure says it can do RTTY. Make it happen."
I bought the RSGB Teleprinter hand book at Henry Radio and
off I went.
I did get it working.
1974, I was working at TRW Systems Group and bought a
Model 19 set from a co-worker.
1987 I picked up a TWX Model 32.
Of course it was at 50 baud.
So I wrote a program in BASIC on my Commodore C-64 to
get around that.
End of TTY for a while.
Around 2008 I bought a Lorenz Lo-15B from a GK member
in Burbank before moving to Texas.
