I abhor trying to be ham radio police; I am not even an OO. However, I
can tell you I have been around with my silent presence listening to the
talk. It is all there, and more than, say, ten per continent, excepting
Africa and Antarctica. It is so easy to do.
BTW, after I got out of the hot competitive atmosphere of NA, now I say I
want everyone to have fun anyway they want....... Enjoy, 73 Charly
