I feel the same way Denis. I guess when I finish Honor Roll and Challenge 3000 maybe I will get back to it, but I am old and the younger folks don't seem to get the charge from CW that I do. To me, even when you talk, digi is too much like email! Willis 'Cookie' Cooke, TDXS DX Chairman K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

Is it me, but what is the attraction to the Digimodes? I can and do understand the achievement to get a new mode working, which is the only satisfaction that I can find. Why? Having succeeded in getting any Digimode working the only traffic I see are canned messages and brag dialogues of no great interest. All rather boring and impersonal. What PC, how much memory, what operating system ad nausea. Yes I operate CW and the rubber stamp and the DX QSO are very familiar to me but at least it's a skill to send and receive CW. I am not knocking the Digimodes I hope but would like to know, are there any real keyboard to keyboard interesting QSO/s to be found, and if so where? 73, F5VJC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
