Re: [TenTec] The QSK of SSB

["Bill Rowlett" <kc4atu@hotmail.com>]

Call me odd, but I prefer VOX for the ragchew and PTT for the contest. In 
the heat of the battle, the odd four letter word is spoken which one does 
not want going out over the airways. VOX in a ragchew makes it more like a 
true conversation than a round table.

Just my 2 cents
