Thanks Fred F1RPZ Article: 52356 of rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc From: "Marty Albert" Subject: Amazing Message-ID: Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 22:01:27 GMT I have been floating in and of this news group for about 12-15 years... Sometimes I have been an active poster and other times I am content to just lurk. What amazes me is really two things that have a very close connection (no pun intended): 1) The amount of useful and meaningful traffic in the digital modes has dropped dramatically. 2) The amount of useful and meaningful traffic on this news group has dropped dramatically. Yes, there are a few APRS nodes and some traffic there... A node simply repeating ad infinitum where it is located, what time it is, and what the temperature is at the site. Not very useful, but it is better than dead air, I suppose. While it really does not fit the definition of digital radio 100%, of much more interest are the EchoLink system and similar ideas. At least there is a combining of digital services (VoIP) and radio happening. And yes, there are a few pockets of digital services that are surviving, perhaps even thriving. But this is not the norm... Just look at the traffic in this news group or check your local BBS (if you have one) and, if you have been around for more than about 10 years or so, you will see the overall decline. I am curious as to what people attribute the (apparent) death of digital systems overall. I, of course, have my own ideas that have, by the way, not changed for more than a decade. So, what say you about the life of digital services? Take Care & 73 >From The Desk Of Marty Albert KC6UFM
