[GreenKeys] ARRL RTTY contest

[tony j. podrasky]

Hey Jay;

Well - several years ago 3 of us tried to get the autostart net on 20M
going again. Russ (3-land), John (VE-land), and I (6-land) were the only ones on 
there. I even left my tranceiver with my WRU up and only got a hit from those guys.

I tried using the ITTY autostart and didn't receive any kind of traffic.

And I have to go with what one of the other guys said: (to the effect of)
the glass guys we've run into don't use CR/LF. After making a request to
turn it on I was told: "I don't know how to" and "You're the only one I've
ever talked to who has a problem with my transmission" (take that last
comment however you wish...).

And, as another has pointed out, with ITTY, KPH/KSM, and my NOAA/NWS traffic,
I'm pretty happy to be able to play with my machines.
