[Elecraft] Wayne's Story - "On Second Thought, I'll Take The Stairs"

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Yeah, great, reliable at or below the noise floor, but if all you're 
doing is meeting the somewhat arbitrary minimum that defines a QSO, 
what's the point?

I mean seriously, can you even ask about the weather?  Just say "hi?"

Meh.

I'm fine with typing, but I want a real live person typing back, and if 
we can type back and forth for an hour, that's great.
