[Elecraft] [KX3] Boldly OT: 6 meter Sporadic-E season and the FT-8 microjuggernaut

[Randy Farmer]

The "instant gratification" factor is still alive and well, now fueled 
by all manner of digital gadgets. I'm a dinosaur, I suppose, but somehow 
I've never been able to warm up to any kind of radio communication 
technique for which my gray matter is not part of the demodulation chain 
(this includes RTTY). I don't even use telnet spots when I'm contesting. 
The idea of an overnight DXCC without intervention of carbon-based life 
forms leaves me cold, and is tantamount to fishing with dynamite in my eyes.
