Cliff, it's neat to see your jumping in here. Thanks for sharing your time with us. I have enjoyed periodically re-reading _The Cuckoo's Egg_ since my sister gifted the book to me in the early '90s. I didn't know you were a ham though; may I ask what was/is your call sign? And are you still active in the hobby? Just curious & thanks again. 73
- CliffStoll 7y agoK7TA ... got the call when I was in grad school in Tucson Arizona. But I don't get on the air much ... a little bit of CW on the low bands, just to keep my fist in order.
- themodelplumber 7y agoOnly a little CW on the low bands! I love it. I hope to learn the code in 2020. Thanks for sharing.

- taborj 7y agoI love FT8, but I think Cliff would probably find it a bit boring. It's too automated, it's basically computers talking to each other. To an introvert like myself, it's cool. I love seeing how far I can get (with my 40m Z-dipole mounted in my single story attic -- i.e. too low, and hiding inside a building -- I've gone 5150 miles on 10 watts). But it doesn't offer the challenges (and rewards) as CW, or even SSB phone.
