I have no interest in setting up a bunch of engineering equipment to listen to a bunch of 60-70 year olds broadcast their uncensored perspective on things. If you know what I mean. If they want to protect that as "one of the best parts", they are welcome to keep it among themselves for the rest of their days.

The original iteration of Ham is from a bygone era when phone calls and broadcasting was the primary method of information dissemination. I don't have a yearn to go back to those days, personally.

Now amateur, self-built, internet routing outside of constraints like DNS or corporate owned infrastructure? As an augment of the modern internet where we can self host satellite endpoints to a community owned constellation and send files (not just mere morse code), that I could be sold on.
