   Hello Brent,   
      
      >>  You might be a bit disapointed then with POTA...   
      
   Points taken regarding the contest-like characteristics of the program, but I   
   have encountered a number of POTA and SOTA operators who will chat a bit   
   during QSOs.   
      
   That is more my style. As an activator, keep it relaxed, fun and interactive.   
   As long as I make at least 10 QSOs it's all good.   
      
   When hunting I adjust to the operator's style. If they are rapid-fire I   
   respond in kind; if they want to chat a bit I'll do that too.   
      
   POTA inspired me to earn my General ticket as most of the action tends to be   
   on the 20 meter band. For me, it's a lot of fun and very enjoyable.
