I apologize for being a little vague about this. Are you proposing
replacing wireless communication with wired communication (via the
Internet) as a way to communicate with inadequate radio equipment?

"Wireless" doesn't always work, if you're in a "noise hole,"
or if the mode or radio you want to use isn't "legit" anymore.
So that's one use, yes.
The idea is to use our own radios as source and sink,
bypassing the vagaries of Mother Nature's propagation
and local noise sources. Or, if you're in a "noise hole,"
to bring spectrum to you from a "quiet" location.
It also allows the use of heretofore prohibitied modes.
For instance:
In the article I detail how an old longwave maritime
rig on 415 KC A2 can carry on a real-time CW QSO with
someone using a modern rig on 40 meters.
It will be a real boon for the "boatanchor" community.
I do hope QST will consider it.

Sounds like a perfect article for this coming April's edition of QST
to me :-)

Seriously - you can't be seriously suggesting that vulnerable infrastructure
be considered as a viable replacement for infrastructureless HF
communications?

Again ... perhaps in the April (fools) edition of QST ...

Carl, Unless Stinson has a pre-arranged contract to publish in
any periodical, his submission is no guarantee of acceptance
for publishing. His manuscript has to go in the "slush pile"
with all other submissions for consideration by editors.

Manuscript-wise, it may be that QST isn't getting much and any
submission is ripe for page make-up in a future edition. Or, it
could be that QST will actually consider the article as a viable
alternative to QRM-killed-by-BPL HF ham bands...which are not
yet plagued everywhere with BPL garbage. We will all get some
insight to QST editors' concept of the future if this article gets
printed.

However, October and November manuscript submission dates
would be about right for first-of-April, 2004, issues. :-)

Care for a PDF copy of the infamous/famous Signetics "Write
Only Memory" ad of years ago? :-)

Perhaps Semper Fi Steve could shed some light on whether Dave's
comments are original and worthy of publication in any periodical,
whether QST, 73, or Ham Radio.

He is, after all, the "at large" editor of original material for
amatuer publications.
