But with amateur radio, I think there are sizable numbers of people
who don't even know amateur radio exists, or who have very distorted
ideas about it. *Those* are the people we need to reach.

Some of them work for the Madisonville Independent
School District here in Texas. Their web filters
block anything related to amateur radio as "entertainment".
When I try to access www.arrl.org, I get a message
saying it is blocked because it is "entertainment".
A school system that blocks anything associated
with amateur radio is in very sad shape.
