Yep. Well, we all have a life history with radio. Mine began with a
real-life crystal set, the kind with a chunk of galena and a whisker and a
coil wound over an oatmeal box. Later, a Meissner regen receiver. Still
later, my first transmitter was all home-brew, 6146 final -- worked the
world with it and a Hallicrafters SX-96.
I've tried FT8 and even WiresX, but neither one seems much like radio. The
digital qso via an internet gateway seems particularly pointless, sorta
like a zoom call with a completely random person. I guess I'm just old.
