It was all the microwave dishes on towers that moved a tad that made it a
real communications emergency.
Gyro/Gimbal mounted dishes?
If I were to have to deal with one like
that today, I'd probably vote for using some digital mode, such as PSK31
or Olivia to move the traffic. But all we had back then was 850 shift
RTTY and not very much of that. It was another two years before I got
mine going (170 shift by then already!).

I think RTTY is cool, but I won't force a RTTY practical exam on anyone.
