[GreenKeys] nice WE model 32 on ebay

[Duncan Brown]

Nick & Jerry,

Thanks for the info!  Searching for just "TRT Global Communications" did 
not bring up anything useful.

Now that I know what to search for, I see a lot of hits for "Tropical 
Radio Telegraph"
A good history of their network & stations is at:
http://www.pateplumaradio.com/genbroad/utes/wbf.htm

I am familiar  with The United Fruit Co's early radio network - just 
didn't know that it became "Tropical Radio Telegraph".  At  the AWA 
Museum, we have a United Fruit Co display and tell people about banana 
distribution as an important early use of radio communications. I'll 
have to add some of the info from the above website.

Nick - where did you find the TRT ads??

Thanks & have fun,

Duncan
