It is just a matter of time before the whole DIGITAL system grinds all of modern communications to a halt. The remedy is back to analogue and the man with a backpack tx/rx using hand sent CW will win in the end. Although digital systems do have advantages of flexibility over analogue, their weakness is also digital destruction. Analogue is not a structured system and therefore less vunerable to tampering. History does repeat it self and the wheel often turns full circle. You achieve something on one hand and lose it on the other. Like the vunerability of solid state devices, a lightening strike and all is lost. Transistors and chip devices zapped. The valve of yesteryears will live on and is virtually imune to such destruction. Digital systems becomming more sophisticated but so are the viruses to neutralize the advances and in the end the virus could win. What sort of progess is this ?? G3KEV
