The same problem which Mike W7XH showed in his article, is the same in Germany. The next generation isnt intrested in the radio thing. Radio is old school and can be easily found as a substitute like a stream in the Internet. Maybe folks got lazy to be "radioactive", because streams are easy. But what will happen when its away? There is a DAB+ stream in the air around me and the younger dont know what this really is. So this kind of freedom is underestimated.

And when Dave - W7UUU thinks that people dont know about FT8, here he can be wrong. Personally I dont like it, but I followed several hours what happend on the screen. Here I was just a SWL. And it was boring to me. I enjoyed more things which happen naturally. For many years in the 1990s I followed a Troposcatter cloud on 11M. The stations began in Faro, Portugal went to North Africa and ended up at the Canary Islands. That was my first not confirmed contact with Casablanca. Those situations are more thrilling to me than FT8.

I enjoyed the latest edition of the Logger's Bark again. And I think I will be surprised next time, when you put my text about the C64 story in the right position (dont want to write more, cliffhanger for others). Can be colorful and useful.

Likewise, General in 1964 13 WPM but never used on air. But zero interest in FT8 computers talking to each other.

Another great logger's bark issue just needs time to read it all !
