New Technology for 2020 ~ Bending the Possibilities
There is a Brave New World out There!
Take two steps back and look at your operating desk in your shack. For some it may be a 72 in Screen flashing data from the $10K SDR transceiver that looks at 30 MHz of spectrum at one time. I look at a smaller screen and a lot less spectrum.
( This is only a 7" inch screen and looking only at 48kHz)
For others it may be several operating positions featuring some of the Big Box Boat Anchors of the 1960/1970 Glory Days.
For others it may be a modest few pieces of homebrew gear operating QRP. Some may only operate HF while others are operating EME moonbounce and tracking satellites across the sky.
There is perhaps only one common thread in these several subsets. They are hams period. True some may contest and some just operate; but that just gives us a Venn Diagram of the sub-populations. Actually I could claim ownership in several of the groups; but I belong to most likely a smaller subset who actually likes to build their rigs.
Technology advance…
