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.
