Topband: EP6T and outside world

[Tom W8JI]

But that would mean it stopped being a gentleman's band when the very first 
radios were manufactured, since the first radios including 160. 160 
disappeared from most (not all) equipment when we lost the band to LORAN 
after WWII, and then slowly reappeared.

Problem people are always a certain part of the general population. 160 had 
people jamming DX nightly through the 1970's and 80's as a "hobby" or "group 
sport". It isn't new behavior, and it really is not any worse then it ever 
was, with the exception people might worry less about the FCC any more.

But then......we all love deregulation and less Government as a social 
advancement.   :)

One of the biggest recent hoots was when a group of AMers called the "think 
tank", whose spokesperson would get in AM vs. SSB fights, petitioned the FCC 
for no restrictions on where AM (or any mode) could operate.  The ultimate 
deregulation.
