With all of the attention that digital psk mode is getting and the fact
that the fcc wants to promote amateur digital and looks to be willing to
give in to the arrl refarming proposal, I decided that it was time to
try it. So the other day I built an interface and in less than 2 days
was bored with it. Where is the fun of it.? I don't see it. It
certainly don't take any skill to work it. Its about as boring as an AOL
chat room and even then I get much longer qso's out of cw most of the
time. On psk you use macro's to type "ur IMD is xx, an info file and a
brag file and then you say goodbye". Geez they got a mode that anyone
who can read can understand without having to try, and people still
won't hold a ragchew to save their bacon.
I can't type fast
I can't understand cw
I can't do anything that will require a little work on my part
no wonder amateur radio is going to hell
