That’s what got me into it.

I’m not particularly social so qso’s around the planet aren’t really interesting to me beyond the basic astonishment of how far 5 watts can go.

Exactly. Terse QSOs get vacuous real quick. Most onair behavior seems to be stuck in the 1950s. With all the spectrum at your disposal, personal apps like (if in FL) monitoring red algae distribution using 23cm-band FPV on drones would be more interesting and practical.
