[Elecraft] abject buffoonery

[Dauer, Edward]

Ray says it very well.

Hams are no better or worse than any other slice of humanity, I suspect.  
We just get to radiate it to a bigger audience than most.

I don’t operate on any “phone" band (SSB, FM or AM), but I know from 
personal experience that similar nonsense occurs elsewhere including where 
I do operate - CW on 80 through 10.  The  intentional QRM, DQRM, 
especially on 20 and 15, isn’t just buffoonery - it’s malicious and it’s 
illegal.  

So far as I know there is no band plan that reserves a segment for utopia, 
not even the bottom 25 Khz where Extras reside.

But, to access the pretext of making this subject not utterly OT, isn’t it 
nice to have an Elecraft rig to navigate through the reality?
