[GreenKeys] Teletypewriter with Harris

[E.]

Those Curious Marc videos were nice — have seen them… but I couldn’t help to ball up my knuckles as I watched the somewhat crackpot “let’s just figure it out” approach he took — along with the Simple Green he soaked everything in (if I remember right).

I tried gifting a free TT to the local radio club that I’m apart of, but they refused believing that RTTY is dead (plus they claimed they had no room)… I’ve been ribbing them ever since ;p .

Agreed — I’ve learned more fixing up TTs than I ever would have personally in a classroom, etc.
