Thanks Jim for the link.

Not a very helpful article.  Someone with good writing skills should 
reply to the WSJ and let the writer and their boss (The Editor) know 
that Amateur Radio is not just a "hobby", rather a public service and 
that we ARE on the cutting edge of technology, not just a bunch of 
old guys that built "crystal sets" in their youth.

This WSJ writer appears to not have any knowledge about the Amateur 
Radio Service, or perhaps there are other motives for this article.
