As to being open to real progress.. For many decades we have pushed the
progress forward.. to this day Hams still use better hardware than the
military in many cases... Why.. Because hams designed it, not military
engineers.
Better in what way?
I don't know of any amateur equipment, including the latest $10K stuff from
the JA engineers, which is as capable or durable as the most basic military
communications equipment.
