Well, Stan & Wayne:
First, Stan, let me say that I'm 71 plus and I've always felt blessed
because I had a mother and grandmother who made sure I had "scientific
toys." I really do believe that their attitudes make it possible for me to
accept not only technology but new directions in it. As I've said many
times, whenever I fire up one of my SDR radios I give thanks that I have
such a marvelous resource and feel guilty because so many great ham radio
operators do not! I don't try to argue the relative merits of SDR vs. knob
and button radios. I quickly decided that joining that argument was the
same as doing business with relatives or arguing the relative merits of
religion or disagreeing actively with the XYL. All are pointless. The
first time you "mouse" those sliders and buttons to pull a signal out of the
mud little doubt remains as to where the truth lies!

I was struck by two things at the show yesterday.
1. The average age of the attendees. Most looked like they were around
retirement age.
- not so good for ham radio's future. Some attitudes never change.
2. How busy the Flex booth was.
- very good for Flex. Nice to meet you Tim.
