[Mike McAuley]

Just had to chime in with a pic of my mobile RTTY station. Set up in the back of a Pinzgauer radio truck.Mike

But yeah, I never thought Id be jealous of a glorified typewriter, but here we are. Theyre so cool. Im a sucker for the little incandescent lighted window. Where do you find ribbons for them?

That would be a grail TTY to have especially for field fun. Last year I took my extra Model 32 to field day and got it on the air. The boy scouts at the next site over were having fun typing out rick rolls and punching paper tape, all on generator power.<image0.jpeg>JeffOn Apr 6, 2023, at 8:41 PM, MilComm Guy <m38inmaine at gmail.com> wrote:This is a complete GRC-142 Army truck mounted shelter I sold many years ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6b7Fb3H3LUOn Thu, Apr 6, 2023 at 5:46 PM Jeff G <jeffg at junknet.net> wrote:So curiosity got the best of me yesterday and I did some googling to see what other military teletype installations may still be around. Really the Navy stuff is probably a bulk of it, since they used so much and in designated "places" (ships) that may still be preserved. I didn't expect to find much on Army or Airforce comms type places as they'd all be remodeled or redone when obsolete, however I did find this page that seems to have a couple surviving portable rigs: https://rattrig.comThen I also came across this vid showing some 28s banging away at the Airforce:https://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675031248_US-Air-Force-Communications-Center_United-States-Air-Force_receivers_dials_teletype-machinesAnd of course there's other small museums and such around like Duncan's that has a bunch of this stuff spanning all depts as well.Does anyone else know of any "surviving" installations - meaning - places where TTYs were used originally, and are still there? I guess KPH probably counts (https://www.radiomarine.org/radio-archaeology/kph-kleinschmidt)Jeff KC3GJX
