Hobby broadcasting would reinvigorate the hobby, but
the oldtimers refuse to consider it.

I agree with that. But the FCC has approved low-power FM broadcast licenses,
they just haven't got their heads out of someplace to make it easy enough
that it takes hold. And there is no conceivable reason that every
neighborhood couldn't have a dozen such stations if they wanted them. There
are almost as many groups advocating the free right to such low power
broadcast (without any kind of license at all) as there are those that
espouse income taxes to be unconstitutional. Hopefully the FM broadcast
groups actually have a chance of persuading legislators - we know taxes will
never go away, lol.
