I was a fairly new ham, and was trying out psk31 and enjoying it. On 10 meters, I saw an amateur from Oz QSO'ing with someone I couln't see. I called, and we had a nice QSO. We were both using about ten watts. Good Copy. From just about as far away as you can get without coming back. Magic. I think it goes further. The great minds said, one way or another, that they never stopped trying to be as children. They never stopped striving for a sense of curiosity, wonderment and enjoyment at even the simplest of things. Yet too many of us abandon that as we "grow up" and come to put away "childish" things. We abandon the imaginative and creative and, too often, we move into nothing more than the tedious drudgery of the nine-to-five and predictable work. How much is lost when we abandon the joy and wonder of childhood and all that it entails. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
