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.
