It is interesting that there are many ham apps that are single person developed and closed source, but free to download. It's weird how open source is not ubiquitous in that hobby. This leaves lots off ageing, quirky software out there.
- jeffreyrogers 5y agoI'm not sure how related it is, but the average age of people involved in ham is pretty old. I went to a few meetups near me and the average person there was at least 60 years old. So it might be that these apps are made by an older generation with different norms around open source. Could just be an EE vs CS thing too, since open source is less common the EE world.
