[CQ-Contest] Ham Radio in the Future

[RT Clay]

 Actually, there are not as many "radio" contests left these days compared to 1993, they ARE going extinct. That is because many no longer have a non-assisted category. Sure, you can operate using just radio and no internet, but only at a serious disadvantage.

 This discussion about the future reminded me of a piece I wrote back in 1993

I thought that contests conducted by radio transmission would have gone
extinct by 2005, but here we are in 2025, still dancing with the ionosphere.

Anyway, while we are thinking about the future, maybe this will be
entertaining.
