Isn't it amazing how unaware you are? Millions of people with no CW/code
skills have been using HF for decades. Of course, none of them (CB'ers) are
members of the licensed ham radio community. Instead, a couple hundred
thousand Technicians did the right thing and "earned" a license to join the
ARS, all without being offered even the basic HF operating privileges of an
unlicensed CB'er.
