[GreenKeys] New to the List

[Mike]

Hello Steve and welcome to the group!To answer your question, no, you are not alone. There are plenty here that still use and enjoy the old heavy metal teletypes.I got into it just over a year ago with a model 28 and a HAL ST-6000. Recently added model 14 vintage TD so I can send via punched tape now.There are a few of us that regularly monitor 14.086 with the machines on autostart, and I engage in a RTTY qso almost on a daily basis.Good luck on your restoration work and keep us posted.  Hope to hear you on the air soon!73'sMikeKD7VRGTucson, AZ
-------- Original message --------From: Steve Jones <k4km47 at gmail.com> Date: 11/16/22  8:00 PM  (GMT-07:00) To: greenkeys at mailman.qth.net Subject: [GreenKeys] New to the List Hello all - just got signed up to the list today.I ran my old Teletype Model 19 (actually, not so old: I see 8/1960 date stamps on most of the machine's major sub-assemblies) and Hal ST-6000 on the air many years ago, and then packed everything away for a move to a new house. Over the years, I have forgotten a lot (most?) of what I learned about RTTY on HF.So I have now become re-interested in mechanical RTTY and am digging everything out of the shop storage. The M19 itself is sorely in need of some TLC, and I have begun tearing it down for a complete overhaul/re-lube/re-adjust. It'll take a while, but the machine badly needs a complete re-do. At present, I am tearing down the M15 unit, as it is in the worst shape. I'll have quite a few questions as I get "re-started" in RTTY, and I'll appreciate the help from the group. Meanwhile, I'll get caught up on the archived messages in the list.... good reading!First question: am I alone in my interest in running a M19 on HF for mechanical RTTY?  I hope I'll be able to do more than copy the W1AW Baudot transmissions on the old Teletype machine!Thx -Steve K4KM
