[bars] Fwd: Event: Get on the Air - RTTY - Wednesday, September 18, 2024

[Tim K1DC]

Greetings BARSians, (Yeah, I just made that up)

I've had a fascination with RTTY (radio teletype) since my earliest 
exposure to amateur radio.  Everything about it screamed SciFi movie to 
me!  The mysterious tones, the CRT display with crossed ellipses that 
reacted to tuning and of course the hulking Model 33 teleprinter nosily 
printing away!  A few decades have passed since then and most of that 
has evolved into a few simple devices (sometimes no devices at all!) you 
hook between your computer and your radio.  It can be a bit fiddly at 
first, but once you get going it is quite addictive.

There is a major RTTY contest coming up next weekend.  There will be 
MANY RTTY stations on the bands so lots of activity to test your setup 
or make a few QSOs.

I've copied a Zoom invite to a new talk that will introduce you to RTTY 
and provide pointers on how you can get yourself on the air with the 
'original digital mode'!  The YCCC (Yankee Clipper Contest Club) is a 
local group that focuses on the contesting aspect of our hobby.  BARS' 
own Ken, WO1N, is the current president of the YCCC.

(And before someone chimes in about CW, no, it doesn't count as 
'digital'. ;-) )

73,

Tim - K1DC
