@Katy @hfzone @M0TDN @vk2gpu I'm also mic shy. Sometimes I would really much like to reply to a CQ, but I just stare at the radio.
I'm not sure if time or experience help anything. I have plenty of voice QSOs including contests and pileups from IOTA activations under my belt. Maybe this is just ham operators' state fright?
