Maybe he would have liked it 20-40 years ago because at least then there were things being built.

Post some pictures of all the stuff you've built in the last few years, it would be interesting to see.

Not sure what the random use of capitals is for.

The hobby has turned into one of communication rather than experimentation, that is a fact. Just like science and innovation are now corporate activities, at one time science was practiced in the shed or the basement. (yes there are still a few amateurs experimenting but I hazard it probable less than 1%).

No matter how much you long for the past change comes and happens, you either except it and change with it or become bitter and disgruntled.

When I wanted to learn more about electronics I went to school and took an electronics course, now there's an idea. The basic electrical theory and electronics that is included in the amateur radio syllabus is pretty useless. There's just enough to turn non technical people off and not enough to be of an use to any one else.
