I have always had a dislike for digital modes, but I recently started messing around with PSK31 here and there. Seems to be a pretty good crowd. My radio area is in a some what of a common area of the house, so I can just watch my screen and type. I've been surprised by the amount of DX stations I've worked with my 50 watts (I always turn down) and low dipole. I still don't have much interest going forward with FT8 etc though. i wasn't even sure if it was much of a thing, but it's still alive and kicking.
