We never had this problem when Short Wave Listening was accepted as
the universal "apprenticeship" for ham radio. As SWLs, people learned
how to *listen* ... an invaluable skill for any aspiring DXer.

Unfortunately, if there is any apprenticeship for ham radio nowadays,
it is usually CB ... which only serves to teach people bad habits and
poor operating techniques.
