Change isn't a bad thing but I do see that older hams don't want it to go away. I'm alright with that but I would love to get on the bottom half of the bands. I am ok with 2 meter repeaters for now but the mistery of radio for me is in hf. I used to fool with cb radio in the mid to late 70's as a kid. Dad had a ciltronics 10/11C and we used to talk to people all over the world. I was fascinated then and still am today.
