Today you buy it, plug it in and do FT8.

How sad. And untrue.
Many come to the hobby from an electronics or engineering career.
Some from the military.
Some just because they're smart.
As the nation goes- so goes the hobby: dumber
And yes, it IS a hobby. Long, LONG gone are the days when the amateur radio ranks was considered a repository of talent in times of national need.
Why just last night I was listening to a couple guys talking about 'The League' - one wondering when 'The League' invented ham radio. I felt like keying up and explaining that 'The League' did much more than that: they invented electromagnetism.
But I digress.
