When I was able to get on HF regularly, I tended to hang out on the digital segments.
I like to talk to folks, but I tend to like writing out communications rather than
talking over SSB.
RTTY and PSK-31 were (and still are) my favorites. PSK-31 is pretty efficient in
terms of bandwidth, and there's something cool about hearing the tones of RTTY
coming over your speaker while the text comes across your screen. You're
communicating with folks in real time.
It's something I'm hoping to get back into, and I'd like to explore digital
and packet modes on VHF and UHF.
