Amen, God only knows how many guys Jack has helped with TTY's, facilitating
acquisition of machines, parts or information.

 

Congratulations Joe, hope to see you on the air.

 

Dave, WW8S

You have no idea how sad we folks on the east coast were when we learned
that Jack had moved West!  But our loss is your gain!
Congrats!

Eugene

Today, I obtained my first teletype unit that I have had in over twenty
years. It is a beautiful ASR 28, courtesy of Jack WA2HWJ. The two of us got
it loaded into the bed of my Nissan, and my niece's boyfriend and I managed
to get it into my shack safely. Plugged it in and it works fine. (It
survived the trip, hihi.) I am going to have a friend of mine who works in
the automotive upholstery business make a dust cover out of heavy denim for
it, though if I have my way, it will be running more than not, so it won't
be covered all that much!

 

The first thing that I will concentrate on now is to get an RS-232 to
current loop converter and get it running on Heavy Metal. (Now I know why
they call it 'heavy metal'...)

 

The next thing that I will do is to get the TT/L-2 TU that I also obtained
from Jack running. I will need to go through the unit and replace the
electrolytic caps in the powersupply. I do not want to burn up those
transformers. I will post some images later tonight on photobucket for your
viewing pleasure.

 

I am interested in finding out who built the TT/L-2 as it was very
professionally built, far better than anything that I could manage to
construct from scratch. I am very impressed with that unit.

 

I do want to specifically thank Jack WA2HWJ for his generosity and help with
getting me going in 'real' RTTY. I hope by this summertime to be on HF with
a solid, genuine electromechanical RTTY signal, and hope to be able to QSO
with as many of you on Greenkeys as I can.

 

Best and 73,

 

Joe KB0TXC /NNNN
