Re: Fcc listening? Don't get me wrong; I'm not knocking your hobby... just saying I don't get it. I LIVE in Minnesota and don't want to talk to strangers here in person, thus don't have a desire to talk to them on the radio 
Seriously, the ham radio people have a point... but so do the PBL people. The latter will serve more people, but the ham folks were there first. |

The kicker is they don't use the frequencies, they merely radiate into wireless spectrum as a byproduct of the service. |

You're talking to a bunch of unknown people right now. The people on the Ham radios will likely share that point with you, which is why HF interference is vital. You can't hear on the other end, you have no-one to talk to. HF travels very far and uses minimal power, so you'd likely find another state or country before you'd be talking to your neighbor. Your point is not very well made. You're on a broadband forum talking about how much you don't get why people want to talk to unknowns. How about this, get a radio with data capability, and scan the band. You'll find some people allow internet access THRU the ham radio. The Ham radio could be nice enough to redeem itself by allowing people to share internet access on repeaters, but I doubt operators want to foot the bill for anonymous internet access.
