Gentlemen,
This disruptive technology is here to stay. It is likely
to change the hobby in profound ways and it will be better
for us if we learned to adjust to it.
Perhaps we will need new categories, new rules and
visibility into "public" SDR usage.
SDR-s could become a positive force. For many urban hams,
as QRN from new high speed electronic and electrical
devices increases, public SDR-s in quiet locations may
become the only way to "hear". Again, whether that will be
good, bad or just something different, we don’t know yet.
I believe that this is a very crucial thread that should
be continued, either here or somewhere else.
Happy New Year and
Good TB Conditions (real or virtual) to All!
George, AA7JV
