I'll hope I don't get banned. You can bash 11m all you want but heaven forbid you not bow down to amateur radio bands, so be it.
Don't think I'm going to get my ham license. Been listening in on the bands all night. Everyone is obsessed with looking up every operator's info on qrz and other sites. They all just "Have" to know an operators full name and physical address and email and pictures of where they live. Why? I'm not hiding or paranoid and I'm not worried about burglars or identity theft. I don't mind providing that info to the fcc. But it should be my choice who knows anything more than a call sign when I key a mic.
Not trying to start a shit storm so unless a reply is constructive, please refrain. Just wanted to say why myself and many others won't get a ticket to join and transmit on amateur radio.
