Same here, Larry re building and experimenting.
Oddly, as computer focused as I am -- three in the
shack and two in the house, with OS X (release and
beta), Win 7, Win 8.1 and Linux -- I seldom use
one in ham radio, expect when operating PSK31.
Maybe one of these days I'll make it into the 21st
century, ham-wise :-)

I personally spend more time building and experimenting than actually
operating on the air.
I prefer to keep my operating very simple as in CW only. I have tried many
of the other modes but I like the simplicity of CW. The only QSLing I do is
to return ones that I get. I tried a computer connected to my radios but
prefer not to have one connected. I do not contest or keep track of DX
contacts. I just enjoy making CW contacts and that is enough for me. I enjoy
the hobby very much, in my own way.
That is just my choice of operating style, right and wrong doesn't enter
into the equation.
Enjoyment is what it is all about, sometimes we forget that it is a hobby
and there are many other things in life much more important than Ham radio.
Now, back to my cave to build something.
73's to all
