I have been very discouraged at the lack of interest on these birds to \nthe point that I've just about given up. Seems I call CQ, and listen to \nmyself from AOS to LOS with no answers. At the same time, I do hear a fair \namount of SSB activity. I do CW about 95% of the time on the HF bands and \nmuch prefer it over SSB. The lack of CW activity on the transponder birds is \nvery evident. Guess it's another sign of the times with ham radio.\n\n Jim Bob Buckeye\n AKA\n **** Jim Leder****\n K8CXM since 1961\n IBM retiree since 1999\n\nThere are 10 types of people in this world -- those who understand binary\nand those who don't.\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"D.
