[OKDXA] DX Cluster

Tue, 03 Dec 2002 16:57:59 -0600

Hi all,

I know that I'm the new guy here, and I didn't mean to stir up a hornet's 
nest.  We all have our own preferences, and there's no One Right Way to be 
a radio amateur.  Personally, I'd prefer getting may narrow-band ham radio 
stuff  via the radio and leave the Internet to handle broader-banded things 
like updates to DxBase 2003, CAPMAN Wizard, and EZNEC (not to mention 
gridded weather data).  But, it seems that I can't do that right now.  This 
is no one group's fault and not a result of any single event.  The Internet 
is convenient, widely available and no one has to worry about maintaining 
anything outside their shack to get the spots out.  All these are 
meritorious qualities, and I applaud them. I'm simply a bit of a radio 
Luddite, I guess. One of these days, VHF packet spots will again become 
available, most likely using filtered Internet spots, and I'll be glad to 
help when it does.

73 and CU in the pileups!
