Your brush is too broad. There are over 600 kilohams in the US. You're
hearing at most 100 of them, which amounts to 0.00017 (seventeen
hundred-thousandths), or 0.017% (seventeen thousandths percent). That's
not bad at all. Show us any other group that has such a low percentage
of bad boys.

Even if there were 1000 of them, that still amounts to only 0.0017 or
0.17% of entire amateur population. The problem is that if you so much
as sneeze on HF, half the world can possibly hear you; that factor is
what makes their behavior stand out. If their QSOs were occurring on VHF,
no one except locals would take notice.
