[GreenKeys] RTTY Lurker (Fred Hatfield)

[Mike Willegal]

Hi Fred,

Welcome - I was quite surprised to see you post here.  My opinion is that Teletype machines in decent condition are pretty hard to find.  I passed up an offer of a free ASR-33 a number of years ago, which I now deeply regret. I haven’t seen anything else become available in my area, except for one on Craig’s List that went for nearly $1000 about 2 years ago, way above my budget for such things.

Though I’m currently finishing some other projects, my longer term goal is to get an Apple II running RTTY, using a HAL ST-6 as the TU.  I’ve had the setup receiving some RTTY traffic in the past, but the system needs a bunch of work to make it usable for two way communications.


regards,
Mike Willegal
