The "Man in the maze" did come up with a point, although I think his
focus was in a different direction ...

Yanno, that text of yours, above, is too bad, I guess what I seen as the
only redeeming aspect of amateur radio has died.

I always valued the "experimenter amateur" who could and did (in the
very early days, and finally tapering down to nothing) affect the course
of radio.

I guess now we just sit and wait around for the gov't to come up with
something innovative (in which case that is NEVER!) or some private
concern who will come up with it to make $$$ (or, cha-ching!)

Bummer, when you think about it, that is at the root of what has killed
American/Christian values, the family, motherhood, brotherhood and the
colors of green and grey
