[GreenKeys] RTTY and other gear in Rockford, IL

[John, W9DDD]

Hi Tony,

So perhaps they pick expensive stuff they know people won't bid on to 
use for that purpose?

On the other hand here's something that actually has a Teletype logo on 
it and is reasonably priced if only it was useful for the 14/15/28/32/33 
machines. There must be a better way for me to point to it than copying 
the whole URL?
