Says who?

I've been going through storage today, and I found my original license, 
issued in 1977.  I also found a picture of my shack from around 1979 
with my pride-and-joy 28KSR.

I was part of the TAPR beta test, making me an early pioneer in AX.25 
packet.

I ran autostart for quite a few years, and my packet station was on 24/7 
for more than a decade.

PSK-31 is bringing me back (slowly -- apartment living is a bit of an 
issue).

I hadn't realized that JT65 isn't set up for keyboard-to-keyboard 
conversation, which makes that mode less interesting.  I've had my 
computer up and on-line and let it work people for me, but it's not 
nearly as much fun.
