Amateur Radio use of Teleprinters (was Re: New batch of pdp8 OMNIBUS to USB interface! Please Read and react!)

The FCC order authorizing Amateur Radio use of ASCII went into effect in March of 1980, but at the moment I can't track down a copy of the actual order. The current FCC regs (?97.309) are more recent, and lump RTTY and "data emission" together, allowing ITA2, AMTOR, or ASCII, or, with additional limitations, "an unspecified digital code". I suppose I could use EBCDIC, FIELDATA, or the IBM Stretch character code, as long as I didn't use it for the purpose of obscuring the meaning of the communications, or to communicate with a station in a country with which the US doesn't have an agreement allowing those codes to be used.

I've mostly seen models 15 and 28. I've only once seen a mdoel 32 (ITA2 five-level version of model 33). I've seen some Kleinschmidt teleprinters, but I've never seen a Creed.

It's the t68d. Exists in very different versions. With paper tape, without, with dial, black, brown, etc. I have a few of those. I even have one sitting in Morocco. I brought it there by car...

Always good to review what the terms of each is. Newcomers may not understand completely. Same with photo usage and video and music usage - there are various terms of usage for these media types.

there are one of the Siemens teletypes that print tape and has a dial on the front from Germany I have seen very compact nice unit used for telex I would love to have. shipping on teletypes from overseas is expensive though. If one was local ad inn really nice shape we would be a candidate fro it for the telecom display at SMECC. Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org) In a message dated 2/15/2017 7:12:47 A.M.

Yale renames Calhoun College for Grace Hopper

by seefriek＠gmail.com

From: william degnan <billdegnan at gmail.com> > that's fine, but the reasoning was totally political and narrow minded. I'd be fascinated at a justification for this opinion that squared with "John C. Calhoun?s legacy as a white supremacist and a national leader who passionately promoted slavery as a ?positive good?".
