Do you think discussions on repeaters are as technical today as they were 25 Years ago?

Think Back, Are todays conversations on 2 meters as technical as they were 25 years ago Absolutely not. Back in the 70s we would discuss antennas, circuitry, the pros and cons of certain radios, cars, boats, guns, and such. Occasionally we would discuss more esoteric things like philosophy and history (conspiracy theories were always a favorite). We kept away from politics and religion, mostly, except we would discuss them in general terms. Come to think of it, HF was the same. These days, it's hardly worth turning the radio on most of the time. Allowing no-codes on VHF & UHF has made discussions less technical and more like CB. Don't let your hatred of CW destroy our HF bands too. That might be an oversimplification but it's generally accurate. Like I said earlier, what we obtain too cheaply we do not value highly. Amateur Radio, a National resource. Too many of us forget that if we weren't a resource we would be legislated out of existence. |
