Subject: An appeal...

Our OT friend, Leon:


"Thank the good LORD for all that you have!!!
69yr old semi disabled senior !!!     trying to get code speed to 13wpm
(stroke got my eyesight, balance & coordination) SO ONLY BA'S  NO SOLID STATE
Leon (Lee)  Wiltsey    4600 Lake Haven blvd    Sebring fl. 33872   KF4RCL
TECK+"


sent me an email saying he'd been placed in the "dog house" (kicked off
the list) for sending an off-topic post (the virus warning, I believe;
at least heart was in the right place - his intentions were good). I
feel very sad about this, for I believe the BA/GB lists, and his 
rediscovered ham radio hobby, were very important in his recovery
from his stroke. (He's become a homebrew fanatic!) Thus, I appeal to
the listowners to please allow Leon back on again as soon as possible...

Thank-you for considering my request,
Jeff KH2PZ / KH6

Subject: One week to Green Key Night (& Day)

So you want to re-live those old days when teleprinters were mechanical and
every character that went out what typed by somebody on a real keyboard?
Join us on Feb 20 for Green Key Night (& Day) to commemorate the opening
of the HF bands to FSK RTTY, and to remember the pioneers.  It's not a contest,
no logs to send in, no scores to keep, and no rules.  Just use a mechanical
teleprinter if you can, use 850 shift now and then if you can, use vacuum tube
gear if you can, but in any case get on the air and have fun and wallow in
nostalgia.  (I confess I'll be using a computer this year, as my old-gear
station is all apart.)
