[Elecraft] Short QSO's (was Re: 6M CW)

[Don Cunningham]

Although I understand the reason for shortness on 6m QSO's, I really don't 
see the reason on HF bands and I am joining you in lamenting the loss of 
them, Sandy.  I spend DAYS looking for a good, RTTY ragchew, unless one of 
my old friends shows up on frequency.  I had been off the air mostly, living 
other parts of life, but when I returned in 2004 or so, long gone were most 
of the long winded RTTY guys of old, and I miss it.  I thought maybe it was 
a change in technology, so geared up for PSK, but got the very same name, 
location, gear, bye, CUL QSO's there too.  I'll keep looking though, there 
have to be some of the "old guys" still alive and looking.  Also, I was 
making a few converts on 20m RTTY before a winter ice storm took the quad 
down, so maybe I can "grow" some when I get the quad repaired, hi.
