Cautiously, and with an eye out for the wackos. And I'm hopeful for some renewed development, but we shall see. We've got a local club (which I joined) using it on 40m. </p><p>Though I like having keyboard QSOs on <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/VarAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VarAC</span></a> much better</p>
Kelvin n0mql EN35ld<p>It's been one of THOSE weeks, so far, and I guess I'm just getting a little punchy.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/JS8Call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8Call</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/RickRoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RickRoll</span></a></p>
Jeff KC1PYT<p>What is your favorite <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/digital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digital</span></a> keyboard to keyboard mode for actual conversation? </p><p>YouTubers push <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/js8call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>js8call</span></a> but it seems like heartbeats, grid calls, and little else in actual practice. Oddly my <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/CQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CQ</span></a> calls get ignored, even through I can reach half the US or more on <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/40m" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>40m</span></a> fairly reliably. Also, other people call CQ only to ignore direct messages. </p><p>I'm confused and a bit sad because JS8 has a lot of potential. Some have suggested <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Olivia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Olivia</span></a> but I know nothing about it.</p>
Kelvin n0mql EN35ld<p>Saw a callsign on <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/JS8Call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8Call</span></a> a bit ago.</p><p>It started with a "W".</p><p>It ended with "DUI".</p><p>Here in Minnesota, anyway, I would never get a callsign vanity plate with that callsign.</p><p>See, here, if you get too many DUIs, they might make you put a "whiskey plate" on your car, so named because it starts with "W" and indicates to cops they can pull you over anytime to verify you're driving straight to work, or straight home (or something like that).</p>
Bud Talbot<p>Fallout from yesterday's <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/JS8Call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8Call</span></a> discussion?

Bud Talbot<p>EDIT: <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/JS8Call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8Call</span></a> will remove the special group "AMRRON" in an upcoming release!

Mike :radio_tower: KO4ERE<p>Hi folks! By way of the <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introductions</span></a> tag, I'm a <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/general" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>general</span></a> class ham in the Washington DC area. I work my IC7300 off a MFJ 10-40 <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/EFHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EFHW</span></a> and Z100plus tuner. I have some of the absolute worst mic shyness on the planet so I tend to stick to <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/FT8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FT8</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/JS8call" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8call</span></a>, though sometimes I venture outside at obscene hours to wave my <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/yagi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yagi</span></a> antenna at the sky and talk through a <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>satellite</span></a>.</p>
