Reviving Teletext for Ham Radio

Once upon a time in Europe, television remote controls had a magic teletext button. Years before the internet stole into homes, pressing that button brought up teletext digital information services with hundreds of constantly updated pages. Living in Ireland in the 1980s and ’90s, my family accessed the national teletext service— Aertel —multiple times a day for weather and news bulletins, as well as things like TV program guides and updates on airport flight arrivals.
