I'm an amateur radio guy in the UK. I like RF-quiet locations. Not far from me is an ancient thoroughfare up in the hills - Ridgeway. In parts it's relatively remote. I drove up there recently to try and get away from the urban noise and see what I could work / hear. Also to avoid upsetting people with big poles, wires, and lots of RF. While up there, it struck me just how busy it actually still was. When you're sitting there actively expecting it to be devoid of people, it's amazing just how many people there actually still are. So yes, I very much in agreement with this.
As a result of my experience, I'm now planning a trip up to Scotland to find somewhere actually remote to stay for a few days. I find the idea of it being just me and the airwaves very zen.
