- mikece 6y agoInitiatives like this have been LONG overdue in amateur radio. The largest problem has been older HAMs who don't like change and will actively resist it. Amateur radio is supposed to be about advancing the art and science of radio communication. A metro-area data link would be a massive boon to efforts like storm spotting where real-time data or video could be streamed to the national weather service rather than the usual "five hundred words in two minutes about cloud formation from someone who doesn't appreciate the meaning of words like 'terse' or 'relevant.'" The future of amateur radio should revolve around data networking, in my opinion.
