[TVARC] Humiliation

[Earle D Hancock]

Hi George,
	First, let me say how PI$$ed off I am that you were able to set up wsjtx in a day - it took me a month and with help at that.
	Second, I don’t recall seeing your call - if I had I would have allowed my Macintosh to answer your lowly PC, LOL.
	To be fair I do feel a certain emptiness using digital modes - no place for a personal remark even. That being said at least I make contacts!
	Still trying to get FLDidi to work. That method allows plenty of personal connection.
