As PSK31 and other digital modes evolve in Amateur Radio, any guess as to how long it will take for the FCC to put this into the exam pool? And you thought morse code was tough- at least that was only 26 characters + numbers and some punctuation! And then in 50 years a bunch of older hams will be upset when the FCC eliminates the IMing requirement and thus ruining the hobby. ;) (The latest Icom BW-1000 All-Band fully digital synthesized thought implant chip will be all the rage, except for the guys on the repeater builder site who still stand by the GE and Motorola Reed Brain chips that oscillate mechanically with your brain waves, because they are more stable and bulletproof, no matter how big an idiot you are! ;) ) Going back to listening to mp3's on my wire recorder- Have a great Weekend!
