Vanilla is MUCH better than chocolate. Or maybe strawberry... hmmmm.... lemon? Either way, Just sayin' Dave W7UUU
It's simply 73.....no S, no Good Buddy, no 10-10.....nada, zilch, nothing....JUST 73 Although with my speech impediment it does sometimes come out as "seven fwee" ...think of Pilates "All wight. I will give you one more chance. This time, I want to hear no 'Weuben's, no 'Weginald's, no 'Wudolph the Wed-nosed Weindeer's"......you get the gist
Buddy turned FT-8 on and we went out to grill burgers and have a couple of cold ones. WOW! Made 8 contacts, 4 per beer! Not bad!
Wat dat noiz comin out dat speaker thingy. soundz like modulatin beeps an dits.. gimme back my ft8 an i can make more q's or make a 73'3 to da eu. Well dat time gone by an i wanna get dat cw? Lol..
I have the definitive answer on this subject "says the guy who was forced to learn CW in the military so already knew it when he became a ham " oops i am a bias witness. will plead the 5th and encourage all to enjoy the many avenues available in this hobby.
Of course CW, because we old comers started on this mode, then RTTY for ever, both are traditional Modes, FT8 is kids toy!
absolutely, but of course they all lie and say otherwise. so basically they could be just doing rtty or the js8call qso version of ft8 instead of using cw get cw send software bragging how they are somehow better than "them no code extra class new hams". hahha
