[CQ-Contest] A Buggles update - Morserunner killed the radio star

[Gerry Treas K8GT]

Sorry Barry, no way.  I like Morserunner to improve my skills for on air 
operation, not as an end in and of itself.

I contest and chase DX for the thrill and romance of ionospheric 
communications.  I love to hear the world turn throughout the days and 
nights.  I was 4 years old in 1948 and plunked myself down in front of 
the console radio with my ear right next to the speaker and listened to 
all the old radio shows.  Then my dad introduced me to shortwave 
listening on that same radio.  That's where the romance started.  
Propagation is fascinating to me, even on propagationally challenging 
conditions.

I realize that your interests are somewhat different, given your 
participation in High Speed Telegraphy competitions.

That's what is great about ham radio, the large range of interest that 
it provides.

73, Gerry, K8GT
