I think ham radio is super neat and good enforcement of the rules makes the space better overall. I've also got lots of friends who are passionate and dedicated hams who've shown me the thrill of chatting with someone continents away over the open airwaves. ... but I get huge hall monitor vibes from a disproportionate percentage of folks in that crowd. For some it seems like it's not about using rules to protect the airwaves– the rules become an end themselves.
