[Milsurplus] Another great vintage site

[Sean Kelly]

I see where a person can read the news wires with a physical or glass teletype, but has anyone created an internet network for enthusiasts who want to talk to each other? I heard that HamSphere.com has a plugin which will allow digital modes, and there's something similar where old railroad telegraphers called in to a central exchange (but used "Continental" instead of International Morse code).

I'd love to have a dumb terminal (for a computer) connected to such a thing because I don't have access to an RF ground here. It limits my ability to QRO.

Are you into TTY or RTTY? Then get on this list:  http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/greenkeys

TTY machines live on the internet, much like they used to on the ham bands.  A worldwide network of machines are running out there, and there are also vintage news service wires you can jump on and get those babies clattering like the machines that used to be behind Walter Cronkite when he first was on the evening news as a real person and not a political hack.

I still have my Model 100 up and running, plus a paper tape Model 14, but have not built the interface to get them on the internet.
