When I stayed up all night working CW on 40 meters with a 6kc filter and a bug
as a novice in 1958, my ultimate dream was a screen that showed all the calls
and a mouse to click to work them. That's why kids are flooding our ranks
today. No static, just waterfalls SDR.
I like my Orion, corsair II, Omni D and 509 argonaut. The Collins S line will
be tossed when I go I'm sure. Guess my day is over.
SDR radios are like fly fishing with a robot. Who wants to feels those damned
fish on the line anyhow?
Back to my crusty corner. A most interesting conversation.
