[RTTY] OLD!!!

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Ron et al

Started out with a model 14 strip printer here.  We used to have the 
assistant state MARS director here in Coos Bay, OR and he had a basement 
full of model 15's.  I got the job of refurbing them for the local MARS 
guys.  I had 6 of them hooked up to the same loop and running at one time. 
Boy, was that impressive.

Finally moved up to a model 28KSR and thought I had died and went to heaven. 
Ended up giving it to a guy down the street to scrap out for the copper wire 
in it.

I remember in the old days we called "CQ RTTY" on CW then moved to RTTY when 
someone answered.  Ah, yes, the goode olde days. 73
