[Coco] Micro 6502/6809 Journal

[Kandur]

Yes, way before the IBM PC clones, many hams used the Cocos to 
work digital modes, like RTTY, AMTOR, PACKET.
Even later, many Packet and Pactor BBS-es were running on Cocos.
It helped with DXing, logging, QSLing as well.

Dale Puckett was one of the Coco and a HAM gurus from very early on.
