Spectrum, while always in the crosshairs of commercialism, is relatively safe, largely because of global agreements. One rapidly growing area of the hobby not mentioned much in the article is competition, or as hams are now calling it: RadioSport. This is an area attracting more younger participants. Every week there are 10-20 contests on the air involving all modes (Morse, Voice, Digital), frequencies (VLF, LF, HF, VHF, UHF), and power levels (MAX, 100W, QRP - W or less). Also, there is extensive global competition to "activate" and "work" special sites, such as summits (Summits on the Air), parks (Parks on the Air), islands (Islands on the Air), and even lighthouses (Lighthouse on the Air). There are extensive online database sites that track these contacts. The new technology integrating computers, the internet, and space does make this hobby exciting for an admittedly limited, but significant, audience. Yes, the old days are gone - with one critical exception - ANTENNAS. One the digital signal leaves your station it is in the very same electromagnetic form that challenged Tessla and Marconi. The latter's basic vertical antenna design is still THE MOST USED ANTENNA FORM IN ALL OF RADIO COMMUNICATION, and it is still under constant experimentation. This is still a very fun hobby.Show More RepliesINDVPlenty of women in Ham Radio.
