I walk to and from work, so get plenty of time (40 min. each way)
to think. The thought on my mind this Friday morning was just
this: how did we (I) manage before e-mail, particularly with
respect to radio, our interest and hobby ?

- Articles were obviously written in magazines (QST, CQ, etc.).
- People must of had more in-depth technical discussions on the air.
- And there sure must have been more local knowledge.
That is all I can think of.
OR was there not much really known or shared then as now?

Pondering....help me out OTs.
And disappointed - I was too close to hear either of the
Thursday foxes -- sorry guys.
