You are not the first one to notice that so many digital ops seem especially "windy" when it comes to any sort of contact. Even during a normal rag chew I can't say I really care what version of OS they use, whether or not they built their own PC, etc. AS you say all this sort of stuff is tolerable in a regular QSO but really aggravating if you're waiting for a tasty DX station for an area you need. Maybe if we took away the macro function? :-) Merry Christmas and 73 to all, Tim, N9PUZ
