Ham radio is a TECHNICAL hobby. We are required to pass an exam
demonstrating that we understand the underlying principles, our
privileges are based on our having that understanding, and it is our
LAWFUL responsibility to transmit clean signals.
And yet, who has any power to prevent the importation of tons of
substandard radio equipment that cannot produce clean signals, or
receive them under adverse conditions?
A major problem is that many hams have never bothered to learn the many
fundamentals of radio, audio, and electronics, stopping after memorizing
only enough Q&A to pass the exam for their license.
And yet, we need numbers of those people too for public service,
emergency communication, and general goodwill in the community.
