Hello Steve.
10 Jun 01 11:50, you wrote to me:

Around here, we have the mini digipeaters set up all over the country
side. I got into it once, but soon got out of it, as communications were
subject to how busy the digipeater was. This isn't SSTV or RTTY, but
still, the speaker noise could drive you crazy if you listen to it long
enough.

Perhaps...not certain that it will, but it's possible.

But then they'd be in violation of the agreements set up in these
conferences.
SB> This is my personal opinion only, and I do aggree with those who say
SB> morse should stay, fine, but make it optional not mandatory.
I'm with you on that one.
... Morse Code is as dead as most Amateur Extra's!
