[Boatanchors] The Silence of the Bands.

[McDonald, J Douglas]

But ... Hearing all this, I'm seriously considering renewing my license, which expired in 1967 when I went to grad school
(and had a huge (>$80000) budget for exotic hardware, including a PDP-8). 

I can't use high power because I live in an apartment and can't use a "real" antenna for transmit. But I can
set up a temporary one that will tune OK and take say 20 watts on CW (or SSB or digital). 

So I could use these digital modes to DX. DX with tube gear is what  I'm interested in.

Doug McDonald ex WA5HDC, would now probably get WA9HDC

A lot of those guys ought to be just as happy running a simulation program so that they can pretend to be working lots of exotic stuff.
