[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3750984, member: 27284"] Check out the Digital Modes. There are many, among which FT8 is extremely popular. You don't talk, it's all digital through the keyboard. With either Digital or Voice, or Code, you don't have to talk a conversation. Just exchanging a signal report is fine, maybe even a weather report is fine. Boom! You're done, and done fine. Makes definite plans to attend Field Day, on Saturday -Sunday June 25-26. You can just simply observe, drink coffee, etc. You can operate, or not, that's fine. As for your current setup, you could probably invite another ham over to just check and verify your system is set up and working well, good SWR, etc, and operate it and make a few contacts. Do you attend a ham club meeting near you? Best wishes to you. [/QUOTE]
