OK folks, you saw it first here! The founder of NLI.



Nah, that's 11 meters. Nobody wants that mess on the ham bands. My point
was to mention competing hobbies that do not require a license to do. Also
an additional point I wanted to make was that we need to avoid excessive
grades or levels of ham license.

perhaps they compete for participation, but they certainly not the
same. I also do amateur astronomy, and can't do much harm if I have a
poor telescope or don't know how to use it properly.

If I don't know anything about RF safety or if I can't adjust my radio
or if I put up a station that puts out RFI I can certainly have an
impact on myself and others.
