[TVARC] Helicopter Noise 30M

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

FT8 is certainly something to consider from our environment.  One of these
days I'll actually get on that!

I checked J3A in my old logs and I'd worked that station 34 times, between
1994 and 2007.  But none of those match up with CQWW CW 1999-2001 :)

In addition to the VP2M trip with George, I operated in the Bahamas a couple
of times as C6A/K2PS, back in 1989 and 1999.  Also operated as VK2FRC and
VK2FRC/VK7 in 2004 on our Australian trip.

It sure is fun!

Regarding FT8 and the other digital modes:

Some folks have been trashing the "computer-computer" QSOs that are behind
the new modes.  Living here in the antenna-challenged environment, I think
they are a welcome addition to working stations that otherwise are not
audible on CW and certainly not audible on SSB.  Also they help mitigate an
unpleasant truth: many of us lose our hearing as we get older. (Guilty as
charged, your honor.)

In lieu of whining about the big station you had, you can always hop a plane
to the Carribean to one of the contest stations during a big contest.  Being
the only station on from a country is a rush!  (Operated J3A 1999-2001 in CQ
WW CW.)
