Digital DX?
Jerome,
TVDX does take on new meaning! Like, "Digital means being able to see the tramsmitting antenna from your receiving antenna , but not being able to decode the data!"
Yes, I've seen the TVDX pics on asssorted websites. But, whether it's packet collisions (Ruins VSB-8/ATSC) or pulse interference (Ruins COFDM which DVB-T uses), not to mention the pending switchover here in the U.S., I think we're all going to be saying, "It wasn't broke, was it???"
Also, Jerome, I don'y know about elsewhere in the world, but in the U.S., there are already universities which have scaled-back or completely dropped RF from their EE programs. So, as for your question about RF Engineers, I think we're literally dying off! Or, is it going to all-zeroes in this digital age?
Best...
John
