[Elecraft] The State of Ham Radio

[Louis Laderman]

I’ve been licensed since 1965. In my experience, the “facet of the hobby dedicated to bitching and moaning” has always been, and will always be, around. The subject matter just changes to whatever is the flavor of the day, and can still be found on the air (hams’ original social media).

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that in the year 2020 (and later) there would be a facet of the hobby dedicated to bitching and moaning about: no more Morse code requirement; incentive licensing; “memorizing answers”; FT8; the ARRL; etc.
