[GreenKeys] teletype...Whhhyyy?!

[John W9DDD]

I was headed towards bringing up the 12-24 and then see you already mentioned it.

I may still have a box of 12-24 brass screws.  I had a central office style 19" rack.  Two vertical rails and really heavy base.  Left that dude behind when I moved to Texas.  That held the 2 meter transceiver, motor time out relay and power supply for the TU.  Probably some other stuff I've forgotten about.

John, W9DDD
