This form dated 1976 has a title of "Radio Telegraph". But I wonder if this name is just historical legacy, and by this time the traffic was entirely landline teletype?
Maybe in Central or South America, radio teletype circuits were also used?
My father worked in a U.S. Army radio receiving station in Lynnwood, Washington, which operated RTTY circuits to the Pacific until it was finally
closed somewhere around 1968.
I didn't really set out to collect Radiotelegraph forms. Now I have around a half dozen varieties. I am interested in acquiring any examples from companies
other than RCA or Mackay.
