Hi,
I have been active on RTTY in the past (and will be again), but have been
focusing on being a tallship sailor for the past few years.
I was one of the 14 survivors (two crew were lost) of the square-rigger
BOUNTY when it sank off Cape Hatteras a couple of week ago.

I must note, that however much you find the Winlink systems obnoxious, it
was the Winlink system that provided us with messaging capability when all
else had failed.  I set that system up and the late captain, KD4OHZ and
myself operated it for the benefit of the crew.

I survived due to much training.  I'm the person in the hi-vis foulies.
