[RTTY] Science fiction RTTY

[Thom]

When I got into RTTY back in early 1979 my Model 14 was clanking along 
when it started printing characters in strange patterns.  I forget now 
who the station was that was transmitting it.  When the print was done I 
tore the paper off the machine to look at a beautiful depiction of a 
tiger, all made with letters and numbers printed by my Model 14.

I have several other pictures in my collection but the tiger is probably 
lost to history as I have no idea where it is.

The common term for that was RTTY Art.

It is also something lost in this modern age of computer RTTY 
communications.

I hope you enjoyed that little story from my past.
