I dont understand why people are always so negative if someone has
another view of life then themselves.
Why just live with the changes and adapt yourselves. Or wait what will
come from it.
Now everybody in the modern civilized western world has access to high
speed internet it has became part of life. And because of this also it
is part of amateur radio life.
What the people of the RBN have created is a result of the developments
which are caused by the access to high speed internet and by high speed
computers.
The RBN is a very useful tool to investigate radio waves propagation,
which looks like "self-training" and "technical investigations" by
persons interested in radio technique.
Why not leave them to their experiments and ignore it if you dont like it?
