[GreenKeys] RTTy weather etc.

[telegrapher at att.net]

A month or so back i mentioned that i had pages from RTTY Journal from 
1976 that showed the coding of weather broadcasts.  I had one taker for 
the offer of making copies of that.  Now i can't find the email of that 
person so if it's you, drop me a line with your address so i can get 
this on it's way to you.

On CW, i took the CW test in the FCC exam room up in Denver back in the 
mid 70's i think it were.  Never had a blink of a problem although i was 
a bit shaky (literally) when doing the sending portion.  Don't know why 
as CW with a straight key or Vibrokeyer was so easy for me.  Guess it 
was just the jitters.  I vowed when i got my novice in 58 that i'd never 
use CW.  For probably 30+ years afterwards i use that almost 
exclusively.  It was so much fun.  WOrking weak signal DX was absolutely 
great fun.  I still use it (CW) an run anywhere from 15-25 WPm most of 
the time but i always QRS to the speed of the station who i am working 
unless they say it's ok to run faster.  I can't imagine hams not wanting 
to know how this mode performs.  Anyway.....

I'm preparing for my X-country trip to Virginia in April.  I'll have 
room in my pickumuptruck to haul stuff along.  Plan is for travel from 
the Phoenix area to I-40 and then across country to North Carolina.  I 
have a  variety of TTY converters/keyers, Panadapters, signal generators 
(Motorola), Northern Radio, TT-63 and an assortment of other stuff that 
i'd be willing to haul along and drop off along the way.  I don't care 
to deviate from the I-40 flight path tho so whoever is interested in any 
of this stuff would have to either meet me along I-40 someplace or have 
a designated pickup person do so.

Let me know if your interested in any thing in particular.  I'm trying 
to make room in the garage for a vehicle and i've got a long way to go.

Departure date will be around the 9th of April.
