Bill and others,

Yes, I like to send and receive QSL cards in the mail. I prefer the hand written ones,
but still enjoy the computer->sticker ones.

I watch Youtube videos and I use Facebook and I am not worried about any of it. I also find 
many hours for amateur radio operating, restoring, trading, reading etc. etc. I even use digital 
modes, but prefer CW, and some occasional FM, AM, SSB.

Old fashioned tech is relaxing in many ways. I am almost glad, and feel vindicated when 
computers screw up. Which is quite frequent as all of us know! Cell phones are the proof that 
"new tech" often sucks!

YMMV - 73 de AF4K
