I leave groups as quickly as I join them these days. There is generally little to learn from the kinds of people who populate these groups.<br /><br />The point that these opinions fail to grasp is the benefits conferred by the types of mode in use. When, say, a 200mW WSPR signal gives you the effective reach of a 1kW SSB voice signal, then one would have to be a bit dim to deny the advantage. That, and the fact that with these modes, expensive, visually intrusive and high-maintenance equipment like towers, beams and amplifiers become essentially redundant. After all, if we denied the benefits of advancing technology, we'd still be using 1910s Marconi-style 1100m-long inverted-L antennas, 200kW, and spark generators, just to make it across the globe.

I just like to dig out weak signals out of the noise on 14060 kHz. It's fun. 73 Paul PAØKPaul Stam PAØKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472039726489965017noreply@blogger.com
