When I went to defcon in 2013, I saw all these kids covered in piercings and ink, studying for their exams.
They grew up in a wireless world, except it wasn't about DX, it was all local stuff, low power and multi protocol.
The tragedy of the ARRL was being too hardware oriented and not getting on board with open source, until it was too late.
- topspin 2y agoIsn't the ARRL kind of outmoded these days though? Before the internet they were the US clearing house of all quality ham publishing and a great deal of organization. They had a big role to fill. Today, however, that communication flows independently on the internet. I'm writing as an ARRL member that renews every three years. But I spend way more time learning from forums (groups.io, QRZ, blogs, etc.) and YouTube than anything the ARRL is doing.
