agree,  but...   I know of an old man who thought it would be nice to chat 
with people over the radio to occupy his time,  CB seemed a bit rough to 
him, so he thought maybe the ham operators would be good to talk with,  Very 
good ham now but stuck as a no-code tech.  he would like to be on HF to work 
some of the side band and/or RTTY.

Even though I can send/receive better than 30 and wish all could enjoy it, 
yet, do I want to block this person?

tough call don't you think?,

Perhaps the art is as much in getting a good station together for 
communication as much as the method.

Best wishes,
