What Makes Low Power Hobby Radio the World's Most Sophisticated Hobby?
The low power radio hobby employs real-world physics and electronics to achieve its goals, and reaches actual radio receivers in the surrounding area. It is a genuine small-scale replica of a true professional broadcast station.
For comparison, model railroading, the world's second most sophisticated hobby, while using some of the physical principles of rail transportation, is unable to provide useful passenger service between rooms. I've put it to the test by trying to book a sleeper on an N-scale line between the living room and kitchen, but tickets were sold out and the trip wouldn't have been long enough to get much sleep.
