I understand it but I dont have to like it. One of the rewards for spending the time and effort to get my Ham ticket is the right to use a restricted frequency. If some guy goes out and buys 50mhz gear and uses it because, hey nobody will stop him, who cares?, it pretty much diminishes what MY efforts were for and makes them pointless. The dollar amount of his planes doesnt make it right.
So, yes, it bugs me.
I'm going back to polishing my halo now...
