[Milsurplus] AN/VSC-2 teletype

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Ray,

I was on that list a number of years ago. I actually had a teletype 
machine that I was trying to get running, a TU and a radio of course. I 
never succeeded and eventually just dropped out. I found a new home for 
the TTY gear. If they are still active you should try again. While I was 
a member I found them very supportive. It may be they are no longer 
active. Or maybe just s  l  o  w.

I moved to "glass" rtty and have not looked back.

73,

Bill  KU8H
