That little crystal rocket device led to my great obsession with radio, which
is now stronger than ever.  It's sad to think that the Internet, while
offering a fascinating communication link, paradoxically is leading to
diminishing ranks in young radio fans.  Just check out the average age of
radio operators on the HF bands.  Frankly, there's no comparison when one
looks at the radio experience v. the WWW.  Tune your receiver on 20 meters
late in the evening, mid-summer, with the lights in the shack dimmed.
Compare that to a CRT staring you in the face.  73's, Fred WA8IDI
