Yes. But when they over estimate their abilities in areas outside
their field of expertise you can expect problems.

I proved myself as a true ham today.

You tacked your license to the wall above your MFJ259?

BTW, any directional gain means little if only a small amount
of the applied RF is radiated by the small inefficient antenna.
With such a small antenna, "gain" is the last thing you should be
worried about.
My MW receiving loops have a great f/s ratio. That does not
mean I would want to use them as transmitting antennas.. :/
Git my drift Vern?

This antenna of mine has really got you in a headlock.Your breathing
is close to being cut off and there is no blood flowing to your brain
such that you are so angry and can't think straight.
What on earth does this antenna mean to a red neck who brags of
avoiding schooling? Is it regret of some sort? It is not a secret
antenna! Sooner or later you will have the opportunity to make one
yourself. Probably in time for the peak of the next sunspot cycle. But
then, what use will you make of it other than talk? On the other hand
I don't remember anytime referring to your antennas either for
transmitting or receiving other than hearing you say, in effect, that
they cam beat anything on the planet. Having never met a redneck from
the mountains I can only assume that such talk is the very nature of a
redneck that makes them a subject for comedy. For that you do a
terrific job with respect to american humour.
