" I listened to the equipment, not the music. "
Amen to that. Sometimes we get so caught up in the perfection of equipment and the doodads, that we forget the whole purpose of the game in the first place.
Radio is for communications. Without using wires. Over considerable distances. And when we think about it, rather mysteriously. So is the internet. But you can't
talk directly from New York to Melbourne, AU without going through a lot of hoops controlled by others. You can on 40m one on one.
But, don't belittle your natural impulses. If making technologies work better is your thing, go for it. Sing it out. We all learn something from the community orchestra.
But the orchestra exists to play symphonies, not to exhibit the virtuoso flautist. It is a good thing to remember.
