This really isn't it, though. The respect for others aspect is baked into the instruction you get if you study at a club. I think people generally understand that the only way for everyone to make those long range contacts they want (or whatever they're trying to accomplish) is if everyone is mostly being fair in their use of the bands. I don't get the sense that people would start acting out of turn if only someone stopped watching them.

It's hard to draw any numerical conclusions from, but it is interesting to read some of the enforcement letters https://transition.fcc.gov/eb/AmateurActions/Welcome.html https://transition.fcc.gov/eb/AmateurActions/Welcome.html

- aninhumer 10y agoSure, the culture is a strong component, but that's how most rules work. You have strong social pressure, such that the majority of people don't even consider breaking the rules, and then you have enforcement to dissuade the few remaining bad actors. Neither alone is sufficient.
