First, John, I will point out that you have never provided a serious
technical response to any of the points made regarding the importance of
listening before transmitting, and the opportunity to enable polite,
unattended operation via busy frequency detectors. You mostly snipe and make
lame personal attacks, like this one.
My primary log contains 22 keyboard-to-keyboard Pactor QSOs, ~500 PSK31
QSOs, ~150 PSK63 QSOs, and more than 2100 RTTY QSOs; I have 319 countries
confirmed on RTTY. During operations from KH6, KP2, FJ, and V4, I've made
another couple of hundred PSK31 QSOs and more than 600 RTTY QSOs. If you're
so active, why aren't you in any of my logs?
Besides DXing, I spend a fair amount of time developing and supporting
WinWarbler, a member of the freeware DXLab Suite whose logging and
transceiver control components are also used with MixW, MultiPSK, and DM780.
I've also been supporting the ADIF specification for the past couple of
years -- the standard used for interchange among logging applications and
services like LotW and eQSL.cc.
What's been your contribution, John?
73,
Dave, AA6YQ

Allrighty, then! (climbing up on soapbox)
I guess I am getting a little tired of these arguments about operating
correctly. We all know the rules and most
of us try to follow them. Sure, we screw up once in a while but so what? We
learn for the next time.
What bothers me more is that the folks who make the most noise and offer the
most criticism of the modes
Are not those who are using them. As an example, Dave, AA6YQ, has written
numerous emails on digital radio
Subjects, and yet I, for one have yet to work him in any digital mode, and I
have been very active for the past
number of years. I have meticulously checked all my logs, and surprise! No
Dave.
Everyone else is there, in fact many times over: Roger, Bonnie, Andy, Rick
,Jose, Txema and the list goes on,
With many that I have missed mentioning who are active in this group. Just
guessing, I would think that most folks have not come across Dave in their
logs.
Now that is not saying that Dave doesn't have valid arguments- some of them
are. I respectfully suggest, though
That you get on these modes, get active and "walk a mile in our moccasins"
to fully understand the nature of these modes.
Ok Dave I'll lend you the soapbox
