[MRCA] RTTY tomorrow morning

[W2HX]

Brilliant. Congrats you've made a very cool project. I, too, have one of the cold war plasma terminals  (don't recall the number) and you've done a great service to the preservation of this technology. One of these days I'd love to get mine running. Did you make any drawings of the schematics? Is it a character-wise or line-wise operation?

Please post a video of it in operation when you can

Subject: [MMRCG] RTTY tomorrow morning

Going to try to make an effort to be on RTTY tomorrow morning at 0900. Just got the new hardware finished that allows the MX10155 Flaming Arrow Network terminal to work doing RTTY. The electronics in the middle of the rack allow the Dovetron TU that speaks 5 Bit 45.5 baud ASFK to communicate with a terminal that's only speaks 8 Bit ASCII at 75 baud.
Will speculate that rarely has so much effort and time gone into such a pointless project just to make use of the Flaming Arrow Network relic, but that terminal has been hanging around the shop for more then ten years now without doing anything and now having it in a form where it may be used for something makes it all worth wile.
