Derek is old an friend, but sadly bit of an anti-computer type ham operator. CW and SSB is the only real type of radio for him....and he hates Windoze. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've mentioned before that digital modes feel like cheating compared to the difficulty and time required to get ssb contacts. |

I saw them spotted on 40 & 80 cw last night
didn't hear them on either, just the occasional Lid calling them without setting up there split.

It's not hate, it's boredom.
And the only skill involved is knowing how to plug in a USB cable.

I don't hate FT8, but I agree it's not something I "enjoy". But overall, I find them somewhat boring, and my favorite mode is definitely CW, even though I'm not very good at it.

 Attached FileSadly FT8 is working much better than phone or CW right now. Until the solar cycle improves, FT8 is my go to mode. I have DXCC on 8 bands and as you can see...I use whatever mode it takes to put a new one in my logbook. CW by far has been my most productive mode. |

I heard them earlier today on 20m CW, too weak to work though.
Will watch spots for them on the low bands tonight. |

As a relative newbie to HAM radio, I have to admit ft8 is sorta my go-to mode.
I'm just not comfortable trying to talk over everyone else to exchange callsigns and a signal report. It just feels... odd. I guess it's the introvert in me. |

I guess it's the introvert in me. well, that's the beauty of CW. it's such a thin signal, when the DX sends "up", you try to figure out how far up he's working them, and find a nearby quiet spot to be heard. on SSB, you just set your split, and dive in. either way, working DX is a short exchange. . |

For some reason, that part of the world is very difficult for me, even in the best of times. I'm not holding out any hope of working them now, with any mode.
I guess I have a dead spot in my antenna.

Worked them late last night on 40 meter phone. They were running split on 7.150, listening up 7.190. They were calling CQ and no one was in line. Exchanged the usual 59’s but they were way down in the weeds. This was the first time i could actually hear their spot. My rig is an Icom 7300 with an AL80B amp through a 43’ vertical.
It was nice as I’ve been off the air for over a year and just put my shack back in some operational order this weekend. Cheers BJD |
