You're in your own little world, aren't you?

Surely you realize that there are people that listen to things on radio.
Shortwave, VHF, UHF. Military comms, utilities, ect. You do actually
participate in the radio hobby, don't you?

No. I do not consider 'radio' a hobby. I appreciate the fact that others
do.

Amateur radio is a service, for example.

I clearly do not understand that eavesdropping on the marine band with a
unidirectional antenna is a hobby. I invite Richard to expound its
virtues;
tell us who does it; tell us how such hobbyists meet; discuss their fun
info;
and so on.

This is a new one, relatively, to me.

BTW, I have been a ham since 1966; have won various contests; have DXCC
honor
Rolls; 8BDXCC (equivalent); #1 DXCC Honor Roll; and so on.

I have also done various public service stuff as a ham, BTW.

I've been around the pike, so to speak.

He's on the small moon Fractanus...A so far, undisclosed moon of the
planet Uranus. "The U.S government refuses to acknowledge the existance
of the object" A cover up? Fodder for the next Drudge report I
suspect...
As *most* know, people on the planet Earth listen to everything. "If you
broadcast it, he will listen" There are probably people that monitor
pager transmissions for obtuse tone variations...:/ People listen to
boats, marine phone patches, cabs, police, utility co's, biz radio,
airplanes, baby monitors, yada, yada, yada, till the freq range runs
out...He surely knows this. I think he just wants to appear above it
all....Gives him an opportunity to flash his Fractanal ham radio contest
resume...Like that really helps the marine band listener to receive
better...:+
Fractanions do not listen to much VHF public service band radio
evidently. I guess from that far distance, even the oft touted fractal
antenna is useless... Been around the pike huh...I guess that makes
you a piker...
