You are so right about the canned qso's. I have found that a boatanchor transmitter is the best ice breaker for getting a rag chew going. Now if we could just get DX stations to carry on a qso of more than 15 seconds... A side comment - as bad as some canned cw qso's are, PSK-31 is much worse. I stopped using PSK-31 when I finally go around to configuring my PSK-31 software and realized my qso was reduced to clicking three different buttons. Doesn't your keyboard work? I have macros for a couple things, like CQ, and manually type most of my other stuff. No one is making you use the macros. And the comment is specious anyhow. If PSK31 is so bad because of these clicks you seemed to be forced into using, then why do CW Ops end out such shorthand instead of spelling out the entire word? When I was first learning Morse, I kept thinking that I was not copying correctly. It wasn't until I asked around to more experienced ops that I found out the shorthand to CW operating. Modern day Morse comms were the original L33T! gd om tu de n3li |
