I concur with Roger and Ted: this article is one of the best things to happen
to ham radio in quite some time. Linking computers with ham radio was a
particularly fortunate thing. I got into--I mean real into, like inside of and
messing around with hardware and software--computers probably because of my
experiences with ham radio, many of them Heath Kits. Perhaps the hobby can now
attract some to follow the other side of the road.
As far as inaccuracies go, 4KW amplifiers are not necessarily a figment of
anyone's imagination in northwest Ohio. One unnamed ham I remember just had the
pole pig planted outside his house. The corona off of an antenna in a certain
160 meter contest is still part of the local folklore. Maybe that will attract
some newcomers too.
