Hey, I know what you mean about those darned ole outdated modes

Larrah, you need to get your hearing checked. A long time ago,
someone did NOT say to you, "Go to Hellschreiber." They just
had name confused with another. :-)

Actually Larry, I might take you up on that one sometime. I've been
wanting to try that mode sometime. I'm swamped now, and I found that I
nuked my card interface ad FD, but in the next couple of weeks.......

Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's showing LAZY behavior! Can't have that.

You GET ON that right away to show your dedication and hard work
to the US amateur community. Be good now.

Let me know when you're ready, Mike! I've still got to get my station put
back together in the wake of Field Day.

Field day is definitely rough on the equipment. Must be that sleep
deprived carelessness of the tear-down afterward!

Mike:

Oh, you mean like "disconnecting" antenna rotor control boxes with a
pair of dikes? Yes, indeed. 12 hours to set up, 2 to tear down!
Fortunately, I'm not that hard on my own equipment, just a bit
unmotivated to get the station set back up for at least a month after
Field Day. Since I run the digital mode station for my club, I have
to take not only my radios, but my whole bloody computer system
as well. Fortunately, that's the easiest thing to return to functional
normalcy at the home QTH. Can't be missing out on rrap now, can I?

Darn near! No one is trying to abuse the equipment, but after a weekend
of hard labor setting the stations up and no sleep we can get goofy and
mess a few things up.

Wouldn't trade it for anything tho'. Work hard, play hard.

Yup, me too. Interesting thing with the digital modes besides CW. I
"snuck" in my interface over the objections of some members. The new
people loved it! Kids, who are used to chat rooms, picked up on that
quickly, and the GOTA station will have PSK31 available from now on.

I think things like that only help the case for CW. The newbies were
looking at that paddle on the bench, and you could see the gears turning....

I did a field day like that some years ago. And your right I was the center
of attention. Maybe that is what these 'no codeers' need to do. See CW in
action.

I've seen that happen time and again. The CW setups at Field Day get the most
attention from nonhams, for some reason.
