I just installed my ribbon cartridge in the  UGC-74B printer and decided 
to copy the ARRL billeting that is sent every night on 3.597 Kc 2200Z.   
Shift is 170 cycles and the bulletin is sent at  60WPM. The signal was 
very strong here in Chicken Land with very little Selective Fading on 
the Mark or Space. While I had the UGC-74B hooked up I decided to power 
up the  CV-89 TU and was amazed that it came right up on line. Its a 
great TU that was issued to me via USAF MARS many years ago and has 
never failed. I do have it slightly modified with a "Zero Center" meter 
which is interesting  to watch. While I was in the teletype mode I 
decided to hook up the Model 14 and Model 28 and also  break out the 
Dovetron TU (military Tempest model) . I shot some video of the session.
