Well, to be fair, this article is from the 90s. It's probably just a reflection of the times it was made in.

Also a possible reflection on this fact; the site may not have been designed to handle the influx of traffic we just sent it from HN as it's now unreachable. Here is the archive.org mirror:

There's no Under Construction gif, definitely not a reflection of the times.

The websites of ham radio operators often are like this. It seems to be a common thread, for whatever reason. It's nice.

If you want to view a site over an amateur radio link it can't include advertisements, and the link will be slow compared to any of the 802.11 modes. Plus lots of hams learned web design in the 90's.

edit: not an hour later I land on this site http://www.phonestack.com/farhan/bitx.html
