[TRCFR] RE: IRDX: Where are we going ? some thoughts...

[John]

Hello Tito and all.

Here my personal opinion about the subject.

There will be many who will stop the hobby and gonna do something else.
Also the 11mtr activity will be lower on the internet in time.
This is nothing strange as in the past the same happend.

Some solutions are;
Going to 45mtr and continue the hobby there.
This way you can continue a little longer with international DX.
But here in NL it's more dangerous as using 11mtr :-(

An other option is also to stay on 11mtr and make more qso's with operators
from your own country.
We did this in the past also and it was as much fun as DX now.
Some times we were with 8 or more operators on 1 frequency and made some
nice distances inside NL and even sometimes with Germany, England and
northern France.
Ok it's not the same as talking with OC, NA, SA, AF, etc. but it can be
great to make a qso over 200km without the prop we used to have last years.
There will be always temperature layers, etc. wich can get your signal over
a much longer distance as your normal radius.
