What's all this childish, long running fuss about?

Much ado about nothing, Reg.

There's nothing whatever to prevent radio hams from
carrying on in
their traditional, relatively well-ordered,
self-disciplined ways.

Most of them will do just that.

There's plenty of room on the bands to share with a little more QRM.

The more the merrier!

And CB-ers cannot possibly interfere with use of soldering
irons on
the kitchen table. There always has been obstruction by the
XYL.

I once built a receiver on the kitchen table. Had all the bits
and tools in a large wooden box. I'd clear the table, put down
yesterday's newspapers to protect the surface, then build. At the
end of the work session the parts were all put away and the
newspapers were carefully folded up, containing all the wire
snipends, metal filings, etc.

1977 or so, when I was in a small apartment. Still have the receiver.

Just give it time and the more unruly band users will either
fall into line or change hobby to tropical fish.

Hopefully!

Thanks for all the great software, btw.
