In a message on Sunday 11-18-17 Al Kaiser said to Holger Granholm:

Hi Al,

 HG> I have the latest WSJT program with FT8 in my BBS for
 HG> distribution to other hams that want to use it.

AK> My passion for digital started because of my military service where
AK> I was a TTY operator.

It never became a passion with me, but I have worked RTTY and find it
more enjoyable than the WSJT form.

For one of my DXPeditions to Market Reef (OJ0) I was loaned a japanese
RTTY adapter, maybe NAG or Naigai, that connected to my transceiver.

Since then the digital world has widened but I haven't tried those new
modes. I think that they allow the same communication as the old 850 or
170 hz shift did.

AK> always facinated by the mechanical wrorkings of the teleype.

I didn't like the clatter of those mechanical but they were readily
available here from shipowners and -companies that threw out the old.
