Prologue
My good friend Randy, AB5V, asked me if I would write a contribution to his website concerning digital mode operations and I agreed to do so. That is the reason for the following meanderings documenting my initial entry and continued operations in the amateur radio digital sound card mode world. I have been using digital sound card modes since 2004. That is the year I discovered this interesting facet of amateur radio. My hope is that some of my trials and tribulations experienced while operating digital modes can be of use to new digital mode operators and perhaps even helpful to some seasoned operators. If at the very least these meanderings only provide a chuckle or two, that will be considered a success as well. Enjoy.
