What a great attitude. By it's very nature, technology makes things easier. It's called progress and according the the Amateur's Code, we are supposed to be progressive. That's why we use selective, stable radios- with efficient amplifiers and low noise floors. But I guess since you don't wan

That was my point.  Anything made easier loses its value when the struggle produces the reward.  There are many "New Ones" that I can't even remember making the QSO, but I sure as heck remember the hassles, challenge, tribulations (and disappointments) getting (or not getting) the cards and t
