-----Original Message----- I'd relish an actual contest that looked more like SKN on steroids -- without the steroids, and a Windows/Linux free zone.
(One, luddite's opine). :-) Grant/NQ5T ------------------------------- I understand your sentiments, Grant, but I'm happy to "make room" for all the various aspects of Ham radio, as long as it's done with due consideration and concern for the enjoyment of others. I believe that enjoying Ham radio, like any aspect of life, means investing a significant amount of our energy in helping the *other* guy have fun too. What saddens me about CW today is that so much of it is "machine perfect". Listening across the bands it's like listening to a whole bunch of identical computer-generated speech. No accents. No inflections. No "dialects". Very sterile to my ears. At the same time, behind those sterile-sounding "perfect" sigs are a lot of great Hams I enjoy chewing the rag with. I'd be much much sadder if they weren't on the air so I do my best to send very clean code they can easily copy. Let the good times roll on :-) Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ 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
