Re: [IRCA] no more am

[Colin Newell <cafe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A flip-side...

I work in a multi-media design lab with a bunch of middle-aged guys...
and 20something co-op students...

Most of the kids have a sound knowledge of all methods of communications,
including terrestrial radio, AM, FM - even shortwave...
some of them are taking an interest in electronics design, sound engineering...
some are kit builders...
Not this is not unusual considering that this is their prescribed career area.
My overall point being: young people seem to find these classic hobbies, like ham
radio and radio listening in general - kind of old school, retro and appealing.

All is definitely not lost.
