Yeah, great, reliable at or below the noise floor, but if all you're
doing is meeting the somewhat arbitrary minimum that defines a QSO,
what's the point?
I mean seriously, can you even ask about the weather? Just say "hi?"
Meh.
I'm fine with typing, but I want a real live person typing back, and if
we can type back and forth for an hour, that's great.
