DIGI MODES
Fall asleep over the keyboard
Go for Xmas Dinner
Go down the pub and get drunk
Sleep for a week
And
the rig still Belches out wspr or opera and is seen world
wide, no rush back for results.
CW MODE
Fall asleep over the PA running 2 x 4CX 1500 tubes
A flash and a bang
Operator is Zapped and reduced to vapour
Signal never left the shack, no result
Operator SK SK
You can see why DATA MODES are preferred, there is no option
if the operator of today wants to remain alive and is not in a hurry for
results
Operators of today are sluggish and move in jerks sort of
robotic and are more suited to chips and not daring like those of yesteryears
that would glare at 200 Watt filaments with 10 Kilovolts on the anode and had to
move fast to avoid a SK SK situation
I expect some old timers are also getting sluggish and moving
towards Digital, the easy life which also prolongs the pension.
Merry Xmas and avoid Danger------think Digital
