Or 75, or 40, or 20, etc etc etc. AM, SSB, CW, SSTV, on and on.

There have been lids, idiots, and other fools on the amateur bands as
long as I can recall. Granted, they are in the minority and less
noticeable than the CB band by virtue of the much lower numbers of
hams.

Clearly we're not doing a very good job of attracting new talent to
the hobby, and the FCC sees this as a viable alternative to letting
amateur radio die off.

I'm sure they're open to better ideas that anyone has to offer.
