Smart phones aren't the replacement for ham radio.    

Most people don't realize that their smartphones are in fact radios.  Albeit rather constrained radios, limited to contacting cell phone towers.  Though there were some phones that could act as walkie talkies in an enclosed network.

WA2ISE,

You are so right. I went to the optician - this time, it was an Indian gentleman. He asked 'What do you do for a living?'

He said' But nobody uses radio any more - it's all digital'

I asked him where the long wire was that connected his 'phone to the telephone network. He just didn't understand that the digits were transferred by radio.

He was a crap optician too, and they had to remake my expensive industrial grade shatterproof varifocal spectacle lenses for free because he screwed up on my prescription.....

It just shows you're not confident to post with your callsign. A sign of a lack of integrity and an indication of  cowardice, station.

It also means whatever you post doesn't mean diddly.

You're a chronic complainer, that adds nothing to this forum.

The End

Your 'contribution' is a whole lot of nothing because you won't give your call like everyone else.

You're no better than some call-less jammer on HF.

Loser.

I'll proceed on the premise that you were trying to reference "death nell".
I sort of liked "Death Nail"...  :)

Me too, a fine old mashup of Death Knell and Nail in the Coffin.  Great name for a Metal band!!!!

Wow. That's really all you have to say about it?

Wow.

What about Deth Klok?
Paging Wm. Murderface...

I love the guitar riffs that cover up the cuss words. Maybe that's what ham radio needs for the f word plague - a guitar riff to cover it up!

Lets test this....Those <guitar riff> CBers have all <guitar riff> come to ham radio and <guitar riff> ruined <guitar riff> everything!

See! Works like a charm.

William Murderface indeed ;D
