I wonder if we who are the Usenet-frequenting Radio
Hams might somehow get together to sort out the dreadful mess that has been created in no small part by the self-interest of those who control the RSCB? Might we all act together to produce a series of "biscuits" that could then be assembled Lego-like fashion to produce any rig or test equipment? This would have a number of benefits, not the least of which would be the bankrupting of the cancerous emporia whose off-the-shelf Cheque-Book (CB) radios are not only discouraging the homebrew engineering that is the essence of _REAL_ Ham Radio but also encouraging an altogether undesirable element to regard themselves as of our ranks. Once the advertising income from those dead emporia ceased to flow, then the national societies might get back to supporting technical excellence instead of Complete Bull**** (CB) as they do now? (And, no, I'm not thinking in terms of the facile hardware exercises that bring on the disease known as the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme; facile because once a so-called "licence" has been granted the hardware diversion is largely forgotten.) |
