The only thing I would ever use a license for is Digital stuff.

Example being long-range transverted Wi-Fi signals for areas without highspeed like campgrounds. Something i thought about for years, but the govt and others are actually starting to implement it.

But I do go the Dayton Hamvention every year. Last year was the score of the century for me, there was a booth that had shelves and shelves of compacts, etc.. Found my hyperdrive compact and the HD20 and macbottom HDD there during setup day. (dealer pass). Plus 2 400k external drives, both with cut cables so they are useless for anything.

next day someone bought and walked out with the entire shelving unit.
