Very well stated, Stan. Thank you!
Will it change minds? Not likely.
To the WW-Digi Committee: Please continue with your good work. It needs
more time to bear fruit. If it does not work out in the end, fine, you
tried. It'll have been a lot more than most appear to have attempted.
73 de Vince, VA3VF
"When I use FT8/FT4, I use a combination of running and S&P. I
constantly watch
the decoding panel, looking for someone who is saying 73 so I can call him
before he needs to send a CQ. That beats out the guys who only call
someone who
is calling CQ. I watch for others who are giving their exchange to see if I
need their multiplier and call them when they send their 73.
WSJT-X has a check box so that you can only see stations calling CQ. Anyone
that uses it is a fool. Whether you are contesting or DXing, there is
much more
to be gained by watching exchanges being made and taking advantage of the
information revealed.
No, I don’t sit blankly watching the screen. I actively go after my Qs,
running
only when there are no new gems for me to work.
Anyone who makes comments about how boring digital is has not learned
how to
skillfully operate in that mode."
