SUMMARY:May Technical Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the May SLAARC Technical Meeting as Jerry Grimes K8GNG presents on Radioteletype (RTTY)\, the earliest keyboard-to-keyboard digital communication mode. \nThis session will cover the history of RTTY\, how it works\, and how operators continue to use it today. Whether you’re new to digital modes or already active on FT8\, you’ll find RTTY easy to learn and fun to operate—if you can operate FT8\, you can operate RTTY!
