Also be advised that the ARRL Volunteer Program has been asked by the 
FCC to monitor ham frequencies and report "interesting" conversations.

The FCC just posted this:

     https://www.fcc.gov/document/amateur-personal-radio-users-reminded-not-use-radios-crimes

I guess this isn't surprising, considering current events. But in case their motivation wasn't clear, see this interpretation:

Chances are VHF+ bands are the more likely vehicle for this form of self-expression. It might get lost in the already "interesting" QRM on 75 meters.
