I also think that technology moves in 'waves'; digital concepts are pretty complex and the required (on-air) equipment can be fairly price - both these factors make a pretty big hurdle to 'getting started'. Fortunately things are starting to change, firstly with the Fun Cube Dongle and now with the RTL2832 hack (which means that a $10 DVB-T dongle can be used as a super cheap wide band SDR receiver). Hopefully more HAMs (and hackers) will get interested with playing with GNUradio and the like to produce new and interesting ways of doing things. Simon PS.
