[GreenKeys] Whither 28ASR?

[Russ Miller]

Don,

Welcome to the group!  

There aren’t too many who put their Teletype and other manufacturer Teleprinter machine “on-the-air”

Last January 1, there was an ARRL sponsored Greenkeys event.  I think there were less than a dozen stations participating.  I haven’t seen or heard that the event will be repeated for January 1, 2020 but I may just be out of the loop.

My station here, Teletype Model 28ASR and Collins FRT-24 TX with R-390A RX is still active. 

Since we are in a deep sunspot minimum, for the next couple of years, I am mostly active on 40M and 80M.

It might be nice to get a confirmed list of folks who are on Greenkeys who are also “radio-active” on RTTY.

Thanks 73

I am a CW op myself (and strictly a ragchewer), and my hope is that there is some RTTY activity around for conversational guys like me.  This would make acquiring a 28ASR worthwhile for me.  I've called CQ for hours on end using FEC Amtor and RTTY, with no response except for a rare Amtor ARQ QSO once in a while.  I'm always looking for more Amtor or RTTY QSO's.
