[ILQSO] Digital Operations

[KI9A at aol.com]

Just my 2 cents...While I like to see new modes used,  there is really  no 
way to compete with the big guns without using CW.  There is no way you  can rip 
PSK QSO's out as fast as CW.  But, but, it is better than nothing!  Just 
don't feel too let down....If something happens where my rate drops BIG  time, 
I'll check the digital freqs, but, in an 8 hour party, it's not likely  I'll make 
it.
 
If you are cw challenged, why not use your interface to help copy the  
code??? I know of at least one big gun that uses that to help out.
 
Please post after the party, and let us know how much activity, and which  
bands were the most productive.
