Replying to Avatar Brunswick

Mic fright is real, but not nearly as bad as public speaking. I think it took me a few months of 'getting to know the guys' to get over that. Just because many can make the Q-code lingo flow out smoother than oil doesn't mean you need to be able to do that. There are many opportunities to have a QSO other than contesting. I've noticed many hams even forget to ID themselves on a repeater while doing a roundtable during the evening commute much less do something like the rapid-fire short-window DX QSL seeking. I'm much more open to talking to someone that keys the repeater with "This is KZ7TXC and I'm not quite how to work this thing" than "A1AA monitoring"

Lol. I have learned to just be myself. I've offended people, but like anywhere else I don't worry about it. There's morons on the air just like anywhere else unfortunately.
