    The beauty of agglutination. New words can be created without new vocabulary, sometimes regardless of technological changes. In Esperanto, there is no dedicated word for “cell phone”, but a word is needed to refer to these devices, so it’s “poŝtelefono”, or “pocket phone”.







  • Thank you for this suggestion. ARRL was my first stop, and then Radio Relay Int’l. As you mentioned, third-party traffic is the biggest limfac, which is exactly the second hurdle I bumped into.

    For all our hurrahs for amateur radio use in emcomm, it seems to have fallen wildly short in the instance I needed to use it.

    We have to find a better way, including the politics of it.
