[W9RCA-News] is ham radio on the point of death

[Leroy Wignot]

I always have my doubts about Slashdot, do you have a nasa link saying
this?  I could not find anything other than references to the Slashdot
story.

Interesting comment I found on slashdot.org today

 

	"In another conventional use for an arguably unconventional
hobby given the technology of 2011, NASA is requesting the help of
Amateur Radio or 'ham operators' to help listen to a beacon signal of
the nano-satellite
<http://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/news/releases/2011/11-009.htm
l> . Many say the hobby is dying, but for every 'death knell,' it seems
another application brings it back to life to prove its usefulness."
