[Elecraft] RTTY -- (mostly OT)

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

In many communities you can grow old, wither up, and blow away in the wind before finding someone to “maintain community” with on a local repeater (WX nets excepted).  I stopped going there years ago .. the final straw was a local couple who never seemed to tire of having “repeater sex” in the wee hours of the morning on the primary repeater of an (un-named) large city radio club.  Not that it wasn’t sometimes interesting … 

Different strokes I guess.  There is virtue in HF exchanges that go beyond “599 TX TU QRZ“ and "advancing the art", which is not to say that the content (regardless of mode) is markedly better  :-)
