[RTTY] Art K2ENT - SK

[4X6UO]

One afternoon in late 1980, I had a nice chat on 
15 meters with Ken, VS6IC. When I told him my QTH
he said he was K2MTC and had lived only a few
blocks from my home in Malverne! You have read of
such coincidences many times, I am sure.

I call this decade the happy 80's because that
is when I feel I made some really great strides 
in the hobby. November 27, 1983 was a day to be 
noted. That was my first RTTY QSO. It was with my 
good friend, Art, K2ENT. I used a TI-99/4A 
computer with a Kantronics Hamsoft plug-in module, 
and a AEA CP-1. By April 1985 I had RTTY DXCC 
Certificate No. 101 on the wall. By October 1989 
I had WAZ No. 26 for 20 meter Single Band RTTY. 

RTTY became an all consuming passion with me. My
logbooks during this decade show about 96 percent 
RTTY operation, 3 percent SSB, and 1 percent CW.
The CW was generally reserved for working new new
countries. The SSB contacts are generally for
schedules with old friends. In 1986 I replaced
the K-2000 with a Kenwood TL-922 amplifier which
I kept until I moved to Minneapolis in 1991.
