Topband: FT-8 vs CW

[Renee K6FSB]

hi all-
i hear a lot of moaning that there is not any cw.......well quit moaning 
and call CQ for a while. do it often. not just listen . someone has to 
transmit and someone has to listen then answer,. it takes 2 for a QSO. I 
mean a real QSO more than sig report.....like what we did when we were 
novices and later.......the bands may just open to a new level of 
activity.....

ps- I am still working on fixing broken antennas/supports, last time did 
not even get a chance to use em before mother nature destroyed my skyhooks.

pss Doug more than one of us echo part of the nursing home scenario...oh 
have another small glass for me.
