and some not so interesting at least for me. I KØIP , having enjoyed 60 years of ham radio, unfortunately
seeing the end of ham radio that resembles my ham radio in the 60's-to the 2000's is a bit disheartening .
Like in the article above, I see Ham Radio vanishing into the history books. Too much reliance on the internet. Where you make contacts and have NO idea who you just talked to .
back in the olden days, you had to turn that big knob, you know the one on the front of the radio, search up and down
the band for DX,
today, Click its been spotted and there's a pile up within 10 microseconds. Hams could string up a dipole without going to the ham store and laying down big $Bucks for a piece of wire.
they would at least try to fix things, may even warm up the soldering iron.
so it is, I hope ham radio doesn't totally go to this silly digital mode, 73 KØIP
