Subject: [GreenKeys] Teletype Adventure

Yesterday at around 2 AM I arrived home after a 1000 kilometer round  
trip to the home of George Hutchison. I've been meaning to make it out  
to his neck of the woods for quite some time to pick up a 28KSR that  
he has been holding for me. George gave me a tour of his radio/RTTY  
haven, and the heart of the ITTY operation. I wish I could have spent  
more time visiting with him, but ferry schedules and the fixed number  
of hours in a day limited our visit to just a couple hours.

It would seem that while my 28KSR was hanging out in George's garage  
for the last few months, it made the acquaintance of a 28RO. The two  
formed a bond that couldn't be broken, and I had no choice but to  
bring both machines home in the back of my car. George also loaded me  
up with an assortment of goodies that will keep me busy in teletype  
heaven for quite while.

If you have an opportunity to take a trip to Sequim, stop in and say  
to George. His 'operation' is fascinating, and he's an interesting  
person to visit with as well. The drive and the ferry trip is quite  
scenic; it was an all around fantastic trip.
