It was facinating to listen to 160M from a receiver based in Europe. Tremendously strong sigs in the PC speaker. I called CQ on 1815 and >worked a few Eu stations by listening to their signals on the European SDR not on my shack rx.

Well Guys. Is this the beginning of the end of **"amateur radio"** DXing ?

No need for all that real estate and hard work on TB (or any band) receiving antennas. In fact don't even need a receiver any more, just a TX and internet connection?

If you thought Clusters and Chat rooms have contributed to a decline in the nobel art of DXing, it seems nothing compared to this SDR stuff :-((

One depressed Dave
