I keep wondering about the value of getting involved in this stuff at
any level.  At the end of the day, there's no idiot squelch with radio
like there is with the internet, and it's possible for people to
entirely ruin the experience for others.  The more time and effort a
person invests in it the technical, legal and social aspects, the
worse that ruin will be.

Now that the HF CB subject has been raised, you can expect certain
idiots to start switching to it.
