SD>Hello Daryl,

Hi, Sean...

SD>I can't stand FT8 nor FT4.  To me, it's the same as sending 599 and counting
SD>that as a QSO.  I adore Feld Hell because it's a ragchewing mode (and unique
SD>amongst all digital modes).  I don't mind RTTY and PSK31 either.

  That's like most folks do when checking into nets, as "short time, no
traffic", then do the same on other nets minutes later...what I call
"Hi, Bye, and QSY".

  I've never done Feld Hell, but I think it's becoming popular in its
own right. I ran PSK31 at one time on CQ100, but am only on CQ100 now on
Friday mornings for the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA)
CQ100 Net.

  I used to check into the CQ100 Hoot Owl Net in the evenings, but now,
I'm involved with the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) D-Star
Net, and the New Mexico D-Star Net on Thursdays. I also just put several
back presentations from the CERT Net (I'm Net Control on the first
Thursday for Rick, KA2BSM), into their own files area on the BBS.

Daryl, WX4QZ
