For those of us who became interested at the time of the transition from thermionic devices to semiconductors, that in 1965 a household might have less than 35 active devices in total (25 in the colour TV, 7 in the transistor radio) and now we have countless millions mostly in computerisation of one sort or another. Is it, I wonder the degree of integration in off-the-shelf electronics that is the prime cause of the lack of technical acumen and interest in home construction to be found these days, especially in the under-educated NuHams who cannot even tell one end of a resistor from the other? Coming from someone who was afraid to attempt to use a basic amateur transceiver due to a few missing pages, your comment is the height of hypocrisy. After all, many of your vapourware projects tend to be rather biased towards older, simplistic, equipment- including things which are not even active and were more typically perhaps 'novelties' over a century ago. The type of thing many of us experimented with as youngsters but have since progressed beyond. What was that analogy about amateur radio being a vast pool to explore- not much point if you keep sitting on the side with your toes in the shallow end talking about getting in- especially if you've been doing that for 45+ years. Nowt wrong with vintage radio Brian. Why do you belittle those with an interest in it? I note that you don't abuse your chum for his interest in vintage computing. I wasn't referring to vintage radio. You lack of technical knowledge has let you down, as usual. Read your own post again. |
