Roger,
Yes, my computer talks to another. Using software of ham radio design,
through a station that I assembled every piece, every antenna and wire
placement, the entire station. I also talk through it via voice and
CW. I do this life and person and I operate it remotely, via a computer.
The mode doesn't matter. The success is still the result of personal
effort. Or would you also belittle long standing modes like RTTY and
SSTV? I also use IRLP and DMR radios which are mostly computers also,
for voice!
So I would say "On the contrary, ham radio has RISEN to accept modern
devices, modes and uses." There are MANY options, modes and features
available to enjoy, challenge the mind, the ability to build and even
struggle against atmospheric and solar conditions. Including the use of
computers to learn and discuss more about ham radio, which is presumably
why you're reading this list (uh, computer to computer).
If you're satisfied with your choices, you have no place to belittle the
choices of others. The rest of us do the best we can with the skills,
money and brainpower we have.
Next time, please post your call as well. That is proper netiquette.
73,

How ham radio has fallen. Incentive licensing, no code, and now, my

talks to your computer!
