    I just can't believe that it's happening.   Computer Software 
Controlled Radio is  HERE  in 2008.  It isn't  Rocket Science to take 
this vision one step into the future.  I can see Ham Radio being 
consumed by the Computer.   We will no longer need a RADIO.  Just a 
COMPUTER.   We look up hams on QRZ and send an E-MAIL.  He receives it, 
the logging program will LOG it, enter it into a DATA BASE and will 
automatically QUE a REQUEST to send a REPLY  E-QSL, complete with  .pdf  
or printable COLOR QSL.  We receive it,  print it,  wall-paper the walls 
with it and have different countries for different rooms.  Think about 
all the savings that can be had,  no 6-meter pre-amps,  no final amps, 
no stackable arrays,  no band-stacking registers and no RADIOS.    
ONLY...  extensive Biography's on QRZ.  What will ELECRAFT  evolve 
into?     The NEW YEARS RESOLUTION says that there is a SD AMPLIFIER  on 
the horizon.

   73's    Have a great Holiday and  let the fun begin.    K2ZLS   Tony
