Brent, You mentioned RTTY being dead n a message 

In around the 1980's or 1990's I ran 20M RTTY.
One afternoon after W1AW ended their broadcast I typed CQ on that frequency
thinking some other Ham might also had listened to the W1AW Bulletin and I
hoped to geta QSO with another station.
And I did!

i had built a Netronics ASCII/RTTY Keyboard / video terminal and used part of
the Demodulator circuit from a Popular Electronics article.

later another Ham told me about using Digicom 2.0 with my Commodore 64  PC to
get on Packet.

Them were the good old days
