Ya, I know the jargon: "Q-rate".   But these are NOT QSOs.   A QSO is
where the other op tells me their name, their home town, what rig and
antenna they're using, when the were licensed, what other hobbies they
have, etc., uzw.  And, in turn, I do the same.
(Yes, I eschew that in the contests.)

This digital crap is little more than drive-by paint ball shooting.

Anyway, if you want DM87 you probably need to get it via SSB or my
wretched CW.
