Great. We're going to fall back on 110 year old technology during a frikking SOLAR MINIMUM FROM HELL?

I can talk 7,000 miles away on a home made vertical antenna. I did it yesterday. DX is there, just intermittently. Communication with CONUS is easy, even in less than desirable conditions. Where did you want to talk to?

BTW, the keyboard you just typed on, the concept is older than 110 years...

I love the way people act like texting is a new concept.

I want reliable sporadic E skip again. California on 52.525 FM on a handi-talky. Oklahoma City 2 meter repeater bleeding into Dallas around sunrise. South Africa on a QRP Altoid box rig.

You know. A serious solar maximum. I only have 3 left (if that).

BTW, Twiddlers aren't older than 110 years. So go easy on my newbie keyboarding option.
