I took a 1st phone course from NRI back in 1965 and took two courses in electronics from the physics department at UNC at Chapel Hill in 1966 and 1967. There was some things we learned about ones and zeros back then, but that was over 40 years ago. I worked in broadcasting until 1984, but everything was analog. It seems to me that if we can put 80 minutes of high fidelity stereo music on a compact disk, a whole movie on a DVD, and three seperate channels of digital TV on one previously analog channel, we should be able to transmit high fidelity and qrm free phone signals on the ham bands. I wish one of you digital "Geeks" would invent something like that for amateur radio. I know CW and psk, etc is called digital, but it seems to me that someone who has more training than me could come up with something better. In a pile-up the receiver could lock on one digital signal that was the strongest. Or, you would have a spectrum like is on digipan and you could click your mouse on the signal and copy it. Why not?
