If you are, then you'll know what I mean.
DX'ing was a favourite hobby of mine. QSL's, and the like.

I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

Amatuer Radio enthusiasts. Shortwave listeners.

Ham Radio Op..

You probably hear me on any of the lower end of the HF bands working PSK31, or RTTY. I'm from the days of the Russian Woodpecker, and vacuum tubes. I still SWL with a Hallicrafters SX-110 (with all original caps) going to a slinky dipole strung in the garage rafters.
