I was really into RTTY when I got my ticket. Cant be much of that
anymore. Not with a Mod 15 printer and rolls of paper G

I seem to remember that there were programs for the cheap
appliance computers (e.g. the Commodore VIC-20 or something like that)
which would display and send RTTY when connected to a receiver and
transmitter. A lot more portable (and quieter) than a Mod-15. :-)

Indeed. And didnt need a polar relay. G

The closest I can come to that is remembering that I used a 300 baud
modem when I started computing. I remember dot matrix printers, too.
(I'll bet half the folks alive now don't.)

I certainly remember them -- various speeds and sizes of them,
too. ;_)

I recently bought a BaoFeng UV-5R portable radio and am in the process
of learning about HAM. A buddy is going to help. (Terry, the same
guy in San Marcos to whom I referred you years ago, who's doing the
automating of some small SoCal manufacturing firms.) Anyway, until I
take the Technician's test, I'm in listening and learning mode.

Good Luck,
DoN.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
