Hi Al,

I like the ability to complete a QSO in poor conditions, a DX style QSO. 
I also like ragchew style QSOs and when conditions permit I would like 
to have really nice natural sounding audio. I like AM too. Someday I 
would like to have a real nice AM setup, perhaps an RCA BT-1K and a 
Hammarlund SP-600, or a Johnson Desk Kilowatt and a National NC-300. I 
would also like to have a phasing independant sideband exciter running 
stereo, and some other hams with ISB receivers and exciters to QSO with. 
I think it would be great if we could all have whatever radios we like 
for all these variations of phone operation, or even a DSP radio that 
will do them all.

When we can't have it all, and have to make compromises, I would like 
the choices we make to be considerate of the rest of us operating in 
crowded and noisy band conditions.

Thanks,

Ken N6KB
