Hi Andrew and readers,
Hmmm, it would be nice to sign your name and save me the trouble of a
callsign lookup. (;->)
It's a well known fact I am dead set against that fake radio stuff and
honestly I hate the term "Internet Radio" for the same reason, it's
simply not radio. I have tried it all out and was immediately bored stiff
so that's that, at least they can't say I shoot it down out of hand.
As for "working DX" with it, what a sick joke! Woud you belive one
station asked if I would QSL? Yeah, I politely told him to request one
from the control op of the repeater since that's as far as his signal
got. I hate to think of how I would have been polite about it if he was
using a computer and not any radio at all. (;->) Nah, it's in no way DX
BUT it just might be a kick for some who like to rag chew on a repeater
with more than the locals. Some like it, some don't, and then some are
terribly confused. Obviously I'm one who would rather fight it out on HF
or VHF under open band conditions, there's nothing like a challenge.
There is none in what amounts to a telephone conversation, but that's me.
Oh, I have some mind boggling 6M contacts logged and one QSL that proves
it's truely "the magic band" rivaling HF at times. Hmmm, while the crowd
was fighting poor band conditions on HF trying to work the DXpedition
that opened Ninevut (spelling?) I worked them on 6 5/9 both ways. My
major gripe is the buggers never QSLed. (;->)
Ah yes, like the pld Pams radio spot said, "Who listens to radio, only
350 million people, that's all." (Sorry if you weren't tuned to MW-AM
radio in the US during the '60s, hi.)
