GREEN KEYS NIGHT

[IK0ZCW]

The Greenkeys online group is dedicated to the restoration and use of vintage mechanical teleprinters and related equipment (the term "greenkeys" itself refers to the color of the keys on Teletype machines): http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/greenkeys. The group has announced that the first-ever Green Keys Night (GKN) will be held concurrent with the Straight Key Night on 1 January 2019, from 0000 to 2359 UTC. This is an event, not a contest, and participants are encouraged to call "CQ GKN" and simply make enjoyable, conversational RTTY QSOs. "The use of mechanical teleprinters is preferred, or simply get on the air with the oldest equipment you can scrape together - no brag tapes/files, no pre-recorded messages, but have a real conversation by hand typing it keyboard to keyboard. But even if you don't have any old equipment, do get on the air and have some fun QSOs the old fashioned way!" Email Jeff, WK6I (wk6i.jeff[@]gmail.com) for more information.
