[RTTY] N8S RTTY

[john]

another quote from the article then Ill quit.
"....Always one band, 20.  I wanted DX, and thats where the DX was. On 20."
at that time w1gkk ran a ts830 remote vfo, and sb220 and a cushcraft 
monband beam--his first storebought beam...
brings back good memories of  kinder times as opposed to the idiots that 
call and call , and call.
enough\
this is a great hobby
