Hi Mike,
Yes, that is quite true: lately I probably spend more time in front of the
computer, than I do in front of the rig. I keep telling myself that it's merely
a phase I'm going through, but on-the-air QSOs just don't seem like what they
used to be.
Seem to be more challenging & interesting encounters & people on-line, than
on-the-air, of late.
