[Boatanchors] Whither SWL'ing...?

[Edward Swynar]

Hi Harry,

I agree, yet DISAGREE with you, both, re. your comments...

With no new influx of "fresh blood" into the Ham ranks, even our exalted
tekky Reflectors are doomed to eventually wither-up and die. I'm just making
an observation on the current "...state-of-the-art", and was curious if
others feel the same as I do, and if their gateway to this wonderful hobby
was the same as mine here, i.e. via SWL'ing...

That's all!

stations under his belt, including superheterodyne receivers.)
