That's a good one Burt talks about that one in his video.

 

Any of several ways, only some of which are included in the survey. Been a long time since I used it -- and hopefully will be a long time before I use it again: "I need my diaper changed."

I was amused to read the bylaws of a famous CW club, that one needed to have a half-hour QSO at or above the club's minimum speed in order to be considered for membership. I thought, "As a Novice it was easy to get the Ragchewer award because it took so long to send report/QTH/name/wx. At THAT speed, anybody I talk to for half an hour better be somebody I'm willing to marry."

Unfortunately you have opened up too many avenues to continue the QSO! Next they'll be comparing BP or Cold-rectal results....

 

Since you posted this here lots of QSOs are going to feel slighted the next time you use this!

 

Think positive: I could be a new Net!!

Right hand is on the key, left hand is dialing down the TX power control...

 

The "I have to let you go" I think is a southern/Texas thing, like an old Texas grandmother on the phone with her friend "I have to let you go now, time to get my biscuits out of the oven". I know it drives some people crazy but it is just common vernacular around here.
