RE: computer controlled autopilot?
Lee:
I used to be W4HZP, but that was many years ago. I dropped ham radio when almost everyone became appliance operators. To me the fun was building the stuff and making it work.
Just like model airplanes, to me the ARFers are the appliance operators of model aviation.
Not that I don't have some ARFs, as I also had some ham appliances. But I really get more enjoyment from the building than from the flying.
