With tongue in cheek: your ignorance is showing (in the misinformed

DANNY DOUGLAS thoughtfully asks:
We already require this of CW/SSB/RTTY/PSK etc. users. Why should a
user of these higher-newer modes not be held to the same requirements?

Yep, I'm a regular 60m user for that reason. And 30m for digital.
17m is of course one of the best options, but lately prop has not made
