Snip Kevin is demonstrating the art and pleasure of "rag chewing". Comments like his are the essence of a great contact on the air that makes Ham radio so enjoyable for a lot of us.
Your observations about wherever you live and comments about what's important and interesting to you each day are instructive and interesting to others. 73, Ron AC7AC End Snip Ron, Agree totally. I would add this though: I spent an enjoyable hour and a half chatting with RX3XX, Serge one night on 20M and I learnt more in that time about life in Russia today than I thought possible. As with Kevin's writing, talking to foreign stations I think teaches us many things about people, their lives and the incredible differences in both our own country and others. To me this is the truly enjoyable aspect to a great hobby. I don't miss the Bill Gates contraption one little bit and the K3 has energised me to learn other modes and different styles/modes of operation. I never thought I would get into contesting,but the comments on this site moved me to try, oh what a difference it has made. RTTY is another mode and the list is growing. I read Kevin's post's and I have saved some that to me are memorable. Life is good eh? 73's Gary VK4WT/P "In the Motorhome" Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
