As (I presume) a radio Ham would you prefer to take part is a sequence of
10 minute broadcasts or try to hold a conversation?

The former is actually how voice transmission was done by hams 50 years ago,
when it was relatively hard to switch from transmitting to receiving!


Lying bull***. It only took a fraction of a second, and some hams
were using break in keying when sending code that let them hear between
key downs. I have the 1956 ARRL "Radio Amateur's Handbook" in my hand,
where pages 238 & 239 tells how to do break in keying, and noting that
you need two antennas because none of the mechanical antenna transfer
relays were fast enough for this mode of operation.

Any more blatant lies you want to tell us?
