These guys were the original hackers !!! I knew a lot of these guys, they were taping 2meter repeaters with these funky handheld radios that looked like a phone way back in the late 70's, I thought they were kookokoobooros.. but turns out... Before you totally dismiss some geeky dude with some weird thing, think about this. Back in 1978 [I get it I am old but just hear me out here] Way back then these guys were talking with each other with these 2M "walkie talkies" over these "community repeaters". Back then it seemed pretty kooky to me. Now, looking back, they were very geniuses (I think) You just never know when a bunch of hackers building their own PC's or their own cell network, will take things. We need to keep a space for hacker, experimenters. I think it is critically important to always find a way to make sure there is some space carved out for experimenters. That is why I believe we need to keep some amount of spectrum reserved for "experimenter". You just don't know what will come of it. Again, IMHO.
