[GreenKeys] *UPDATE* Teletype M32 clicking... not printing

[Andy KN4UCL]

Howdy folks - so I think it's safe to assume my rely is on the fritz. After
a week or two of stellar performance I go back to the rapid clicking
again.... I then repeat the gentle filing of the relay contact and that
helps for a while.  Wondering should I more aggressively file the contacts?
Thoughts always appreciated!

cheers... Andy
