Boger Cooke G3LDI, the rnChairman BARTG writes, "In 1959, Arthur 'Doc' Gee G2UK and Bill Brennan G3CQE - the first two UK Radio Amateurs to use RTTY on the h.f. bands - formed BARTG. In those days it was known as the British Amateur Radio Teletype Group, but the name later had to change to Teledata because of a copyright problem. The use of the mode literally 'exploded' and this year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary, a record which we rnare very proud to publicise and commemorate with a special award. Unfortunately, the two founder members are both Silent Keys now, but their original efforts are much appreciated by thousands of amateurs".
