I have often wondered whether the efforts to make ham radio easier and
more "accessible" have also directly contributed to some of the decline
in commitment to the hobby and in operating standards and civility on
the air.  Seems to me that people value most highly those things they
have worked hardest to earn.

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only
that gives everything its value. "  Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776.
