Speaking of old, I saw someone trying to sell a VIC-20 at a local
hamfest over the weekend :.)
My first exposure to RTTY was in the early 70s at the QTH of W2IDX, who
lived nearby. He had TTY machines, reperfs and tapes hanging
everywhere. I first operated RTTY in the mid 70s with a Model 15 and
homebrew TU at my college club station (W2SZ.) I quickly gave it up as
it was too noisy and gave me a headache. Didn't get back into it until
the Commodore 64 and AEA's RTTY software.
