Err well, VK has just had the foundation license start up. I'll admit
though that I havent been paying attention as my sphere of interest
rarely has me talking on more "popular" places like HF and FM rptrs. I
am also living in East Texas!

I do remember some 2m FM rptr stupidities in Sydney maybe 10-15 years
ago. It went on for quite a while and I think made a lot of amateurs
give up on that mode. I personally think simplex whilst mobile (SSB on 2
& 6) was much more rewarding anyway.

There is certainly a lot of irritating and generally useless behaviour
in AR newsgroups but I have only actually heard one (obnoxious) person
on HF that kept me VFO'ing since I arrived in the US. I therefore havent
really heard any problems first hand. I just wander along experimenting
on what interests me and dont seem to be affected.. Perhaps the
unsavories tend to congregate where I am not!
