Amateur Radio in the 21st Century?
Folks,
Recently there has been mention of a paper by KL7CC titled "Amateur Radio in the 21st Century". It can be downloaded in Word format from: http://www.qsl.net/al7fs/NCVECplan.doc That document spells out what the NCVEC leaders are thinking about in terms of changes to the license structure as a result of WRC 2003. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

In article , (N2EY) writes: Maia et. al. are obviously leaving the door wide open to reduce or eliminate exclusive CW/data segments, even possibly moving toward a totally "open" bandplan on all amateur allocations. I cannot support this. The main pressure for band segment re-allocation will come primarily from users of SSB. This is simply because it's the easiest mode for any amateur to implement in his/her own station, I am NOT supporting phone band expansion, but I thought the PCTA argument was that "CW was the easiest, simplest mode, with the easiest to build equipment." ??? Why the turnabout??? (not that I agree that gear for other modes is any harder to build than for CW ...) and if there should be an increase in the total number of licensed radio amateurs, that's where there will be a need for more "lebensraum." OK, I'll bite ... what the hell is "lebensraum" ??? Carl - wk3c |

Carl - wk3c "living room" It was one of the phrases used by Germany to justify it's expansion. Since it's been a few years since I studies history, I don't recall if it was WWI or WWII. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE Dee: It was WWII, or, more accurately, pre-WWII but post WWI. Hitler used the term "lebensraum" as his justification for the conquest of Russia in his book, Mein Kampf. He lusted after Russia's vast expanses of land area in order to provide "lebensraum," or "living room" (space) for what he thought should be the rightful expansion of the German nation. His pursuit of "lebensraum" was one of his more severe acts of hubris during WWII, which ultimately resulted in his defeat by wasting his military resources on the second (Russian) front. Had he been willing to settle for the conquest and control of the whole of Western and Central Europe, he may have had the forces in place to resist the Allied invasion, and thus given Germany the time to develop it's own atomic weapons. This, of course, would have quite a dilemma for the Allies, since Hitler, madman he was, would have then most likely employed his nuclear arsenal -- most likely on Russia, England, and possibly the U.S. We, of course, would have had to nuke him first to prevent that from happening. Therefore, in a way, Hitler did the rest of the world a favor in his futile attempt to conquer Russia conventionally. A military genius he was not. If the Austrian Corporal had been a real General instead, a lot of us may not be here today. 73 de Larry, K3LT |
