Untrue, dangerously so. Amateur radio has always been a technical pursuit; the operator's hobby is CB Radio, and on the amateur bands are a large number of CBers masquerading as radio amateurs. That is no doubt what you would like to be true, and I have a lot of sympathy with that aspiration.Â*Â*Â* But it is not in fact true, and there were always, at least since the 1960s which is what I know about, a large number of amateurs interested in operating (and often highly skilled and knowledgable about it) and not particularly interested in anything technical.Â*Â* Equally, a lot copied circuits without being much interested in the theory.Â*Â* So I simply do not agree with you about the facts, as opposed to preferences. I do very little selective operating and I am not interested in electronics or computing so where does that leave me ? .... I will answer that,,,in the 80's I converted a DNT cb to 10m with new xtals and a re-tune then I converted a cybernet 3000 with a spectrum board and opening up the cans and removing the caps and a re-tune ....in the 70's and 80's I built various heathkits.......in 1975 I fitted a triple LLL clipper to the board of my ft101mk1 not just to the octal socket in the back panel like the mk2 and B models....quite a risk...built a europa 2m transverter into an ft101 speaker cabinet... You expect use to believe that when you couldn’t see that trailer cable wasn’t suitable for connecting to a DIN plug? |
