When the radio amateur service was established, spark transmitters
abounded.. Transmitters lacked stability, movies were silent, and
ionospheric propagation was not well understood.

A lot has changed. Radios are very stable and radio-telephone has long
been the mode of choice. An operator specially trained in the theory and
practice of radio is no more necessary than a trained auto mechanic is
needed to operate a car or truck.

Operators should know radio law and rules. They should be required to
operate within the law. When they break the rules they should be
penalized.
