The only digi that I've done is VHF packet with Digicomm on the C=64 PC on 2
Meters.
RTTY on 2 Meters & 20 Meters with a Netronics ASCII/Video board and a homebrew
555 afsk , and RTTY demodulator circuit I borrowed from the schematic of a RRTY
Reader artical in Popular Electronics magazine back in the 1970's.

Haven't done any of that since the 2M rig went crazy and would change whatever
frequency I was using and go to 144.000 Mc/s.
The factory repair shop couldn't fix the rig so I told them to keep it for
spare parts.
The fella said he would put it in his Junque Pile .

The XYL said to remove those ugly wires coming out of a doorway and going in
the drop down attic stairway, so i ain't used my HF Gear fer many years .
I have a Heatkit Sixer and Halo antenna I could use but way back when I used 6
Meters a neighbor told me they heard me talking while watching T.V.
I don't want to get any TVI complaints from the newer neighbors so I am QRT
here.
Reading BBS posts about AmateurRadio here lets me know what is going on the
airways.

Mike our SYSOP may know if anyone below the 0 degree mark has written messages
in FIDO.
