[GreenKeys] 2 Meter AFSK

[kn7sfz]

Hi Ken,

I would be interested in hearing what finally transpires in your quest.

Back in the 80s, I ran a local RTTY BBS here in Portland Oregon, both on 
HF 3.624 and 2 meters.  It got quite a bit of activity back then, as 
there were lots of old codgers still using the mechanical TTYs.  We even 
had a local RTTY repeater on 147.18 that now just stands mostly silent.  
My BBS was run on a Commodore C-64 and I still have all the stuff from 
over 30 years ago and have been toying with the idea of putting it back 
up on one of the 2 meter experimental frequencies, which I understand is 
anywhere between 145.50 and 145.80.  I'm not expecting any activity but 
just for nostalgia's sake.

Keep us in the loop OM!
