Damn straight.

The current glut of lists, best of’s, and quick facts are simply more interesting to a greater market. Blame people’s oddly fickle viewing habits for the blogosphere’s change and not an infinitely diverse and flexible medium!

Justin….

“But unlike amateur radio, which has all but died today due to licensing and equipment costs,”

While I agree with your statement…..Amateur radio had “died” more as a result of technical irrelevance as well. And the demographics! I can’t cite a hard number but many put the avegage ham age north of 55. And lastly the ham radio culture is hardly a vibrant communication environment. Rather meaningless drivel is the norm. Tune any ham band and listen to the discourse. It is of the most pedestrian kind.

Cheers,

mike (and yes I’m a Ham, and still listen to Morse Code….if only for the nostalgia.)
