[RTTY] Funny you should mention.....

[Tom Osborne]

Hey, started out with a Model 14 strip printer here.  Used a 555 op-amp tu. 
Moved up to a Model 15 with a DT-600 (ST-6 and AFSK generator on 1 board) 
and never looked back.

Also had a Drake for the first RTTY rig.  But, it was a TR-3.

I remember when you used to call CQ RTTY on CW on 7140 and then when someone 
answered, you would move to RTTY.  73

OK, you guys are going waaaay back -- Model 26, anyone? <grin>.

I jumped on the RTTY train during the Drake '4-line' era (with a
homebrew ST-6). The T-4 series of transmitters had a conveniently
mounted lug on the  5 MHz VFO and a convenient spare hole on the back of
the chassis for an extra RCA jack.

Jeez, I really miss Drake...it was truly the radio man's radio.
