Moro,
Ei ole ollut turhaa puhua DX-harrasteen
nykyn�k�aloista ja omistaa siin� yhteydess� huomiota FM:n statukselle.
Kansainv�lisiss� ryhmiss� puhutaan juuri nyt paljon SW:n ja
radioalan tilanteesta, kuten alla. Drake R8B -vastaanottimen valmistus
lopetetaan samoin kuin Icom R-75:n ja meill�kin t�rke�n Icom R-8500n, joka on
Suomessa ykk�s-all-round-rx (siis mukaanlukien hyv� FM). Samoin
lakkaa Sony SW-77; kaikki t�rkeimm�t NRD:t ovat menneen talven lumia,
eik� uusia malleja ole suunnitteilla tilalle. Kaikki viittaaa
siihen ettei harraste en�� ole vetovoimainen eik� kiinnosta radioiden
valmistajiakaan.
Siksi sopii
mietti�, miten DX pysyisi vetovoimaisena, kuten listalla onkin juuri
er��lt� kannalta tehty. Lukekaapa Bill Krausen juttu alta, se on vain yksi
tyypillinen t�ss� keskustelussa. Kun Krause kertoo ett� h�nen Icom
R-8500:nsa saapui t�n��n, voin kertoa ett� oma FM-k�ytt��n tarkoitettu
modifioitu Icom R-7000:ni on jo kuljetuksessa matkalla Suomeen. Toki
on viel� j�re�� AM-kalustoakin, j�re�mp��kin kuin Krausella, kuten
EKD-500.

And I have also heard that the Icom R-75 may be discontinued. When two of the few major hobby radios are discontinued it is not a good sign. What really concerns me is that no replacements have been announced. The reality is technology and the Net are hitting the radio hobby that I grew up with hard. International broadcasters are abandoning traditional short-wave broadcast in favor of alternative technologies and not many young people are getting into the hobby and casual listeners are just not there. I suspect the market just isn't there. I suspect my considerable investment in some the best and near best radios of the last 50 years isn't going to turn out to be a particularly good investment. My heirs will probably not get rich on them but I have had a heck of a good time collecting and listening to them. My Icom R-8500 arrived today and it rests just undereneath the Icom R-75 which intern rests a top the NRD 535D. Bill Krause jim franey wrote:
