[GreenKeys] Anyone doing RTTY today?

[Jeffrey Golas]

I fully understand, even for me with everything near each other, the TTYs are in one room, the converters in another, and the transmitter in another, and its just me operating it all (mostly), so its a handful. Adding 1500w transmitters 2 decks down adds a lot to that as well. I just figured if Im playing hooky already maybe see if I can work some rtty.

The nice thing about being a weekday is the small rooms arent packed with other radio volunteers coming and going, so easier for me to move around and nobodys kidnapping the cage antenna lol.
