Things were a lot more complicated then with strip printers (one ling 
piece of paper about 1" wide with all the characters printed on it :-)  
Polar relays, Mainline TU's, 850 shift, and calling CQ RTTY on CW to

Saturday picture net was also lots of fun.  Saw lots of Playboy bunnies 
come across on RTTY :-) 73
