They tell me I can't use my spark gap transmitter anymore either.  I miss
the smell of ozone in the shack...

I prefer to think of it as efficiency rather than laziness.

I don't think that operators did what they did in the old days because they
weren't lazy.  They did it because it's what they had to work with.

"I ain't installing no PTT in my Ranger.  Why, then I wouldn't get to flip
all those switches."
