[GreenKeys] Saw this at the nearfest hamfest

[Skip Macaulay]

Hello Russ and thanks for the welcome.. Its been a long time since I was
doing anything with RTTY, the introduction of the VIC20 back then kind of
finished it off for me.. No body back then wanted to send
a line feed and carriage return ha ha...  I wish I had never given my 19
away back then but I hung onto my 28 for all these years..  It was actually
watching Daniel Jones, K6YIC, on Youtube that sparked my
interest in the old machines again.. Everytime I walked by the old 28 it
was beckoning me ha ha.. I talked with Daniel and I got brave and hooked it
all up... I was also very surprised when he told me about the ITTY
signals on the internet, that blew me away.. Anyways the old gear fired
right up and I was printing news on a very dried up ink ribbon.. So I am
reworking a lot of scary circuitry I built 30 years ago and hope to get on
HF again.
RTTY was the most fun I have ever had in my ham hobby years.. I have echoed
signals off the moon on all kinds of bands but the hammering of the RTTY
machines I still find more fascinating!!  Skip
