Well said, John! The enemy is the wildly excessive RF noise all around
us, not innovative digital modes that help us dig weak signals out of
it. We need to put our energies into killing that noise, not fighting
for the return of spark!

While we squabble over digi modes taking over, there are more pressing issues
on amateur radio such as increasing QRM, QRN levels. Perhaps we need to exert
our energies into clearing the bands of these issues first. There are now many
kiwi sdr recivers online which can triangulate stations pretty accurately and
they can be named and shamed ! or even black listed. Another issue is the
encroaching OTR. At least the digimoder's occupy the bands while we squabble to
and fro.
