I don't comment much on amateur issues, despite the belief that many
of them affect us as SWL's, but I think this shows a bit of insight into
what some of the challenges facing the ARS, and by extension, SWL
hobbycraft.
We've all heard of Riley Hollingsworth, and many of us have an
opinion of him and his crusade to clean up the ARS bands.
But few have ever heard him in his own words.
He's a wry wit with a pragmatic view of ARS and what practicing hams
need to think about when using the bands. There is also practical advice
to the rest of us, here. And though much of what he says isn't relevant
to all of us, it IS relevant to many, and does warrant the moment of
attention, if for no other reason than to give a first hand experience
with what the man is about, and what he has to say.
