[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

when I  think RTTY
I always think mechanical teletypes
 
if you are going to do it  electronically on a screen  you might  as  well 
just email! <grin!>

Nice  idea Jim, but I may be the only one to enter...

My ST-6 is still   in operation with 850 and 170 filters as well as my 
Model 28 ASR running a 60  ma current loop...It sometimes beats MMTTY and even 
2Tone but no one will  believe it.

Since this is a retro contest, how about using the exchange  from the first 
RTTY contest in 1953? The exchange was  serial number,  originating station 
call, check or RST report of two or three numbers, ARRL  section of 
originator, local time (0000-2400 preferred) and date. Example: NR  23 W0BP 579 
MINN 1325 FEB 15. 

Even more fun for an organizer who would  have to sort things out with only 
paper logs.

A fun thought!  You  might want to bring this up on the Greenkeys list...
