Hi Larry,

We now live in an entitlement minded society. All are suppose to have 
equal access to everything, regardless of personal preparation. Just 
because you have an extra class license, bigger antennas, and more 
operating savvy shouldn't give you any advantage over the guy who does 
not have these things! :-)
