We hear a lot about how ham radio isn’t what it used to be. But what was it like?

@BenDoubleU I love Lemmy.radio...but I question the slogan "ham radio like it used to be". Let's be honest-it used to be expensive and white. A few old grumps wish it still was. It's more accessible now than ever, more diverse, and there are more activities available now than ever.

Stop listening to those old grumps who say the hobby is dying. It's very much alive, and Lemmy.radio is an awesome gateway to all sorts of stuff.

It’s not a slogan, just the title of the article 😊 it does go on to state that the spirit isn’t much different and how it’s used differently today. Glad you like lemmy.radio!
