  • RTTY/Packet

    Brent, You mentioned RTTY being dead n a message

    In around the 1980's or 1990's I ran 20M RTTY.
    One afternoon after W1AW ended their broadcast I typed CQ on that frequency thinking some other Ham might also had listened to the W1AW Bulletin and I hoped to geta QSO with another station.
    And I did!

    i had built a Netronics ASCII/RTTY Keyboard / video terminal and used part of the Demodulator circuit from a Popular Electronics article.

    later another Ham told me about using Digicom 2.0 with my Commodore 64 PC to get on Packet.

    Them were the good old days

    If anyone would like to try scheduling a good ol RTTY QSO on 20 or 40 Meters, please let me know and I would be happy to get FLDigi setup.
