Denis, you may be missing the opportunity to start unique conversations
with hams you run across in the digital sub-bands. The worst that can
happen is that they will just give you a look at their macros. The best
is that they may start typing back. There are a number of operators who
chew the rag from time to time on 20 meter rtty, and I'm sure it occurs
sometimes on other modes and bands, except for the JT modes.
Our local club holds a digital net every other Monday evening on ten
meters around 28071, in several alternating modes, including psk, rtty,
hellschreiber, and more as time goes on. No macros are used. There is
no flaming, and we sometimes learn something new. It's a great way to
help digital newbies with on the air experience. The band was chosen
for the best local propagation, but other bands are tried from time to time.
So, tickle those greenkeys; someone will respond.

It seems I am not alone:)
