It may be fun, but it is also inconsiderate unless on a little used

Maybe so, but in my part of the country, there's a group that gets up
at 5 o'clock in the morning to run AM on 75 meters, and their fat
signals do little harm. Good to hear the old timers keeping alive some
of our ham heritage.

Just two cents worth from an old timer (licensed for nearly 65 years)
and brought up on AM.
