Sorry Rich, but I have to disagree. Our lives are filled with
customs, conventions, traditions, rules and regulations - whatever you
want to call them. They are the glue that holds us together and no
wise person would just trash them for no reason. And you're right
about Amateur Radio being just a hobby. We are disposable and if the
FCC and/or Congress did away with us entirely, a lot of their
headaches would go away. Let's not hand them the ammunition to shoot
us with.
