I thought I was bad building a 9db collinear to get over the dog pile here

I have wondered that.. Why are we simply blocking offenders?  Yes, it's 
great to have young'ens (like me!  well, kinda... Hard to say I'm still 
young when I hit 30 this year :-p ) coming into AR, but if they're not 
going 
to stay within their license conditions, and aren't heeding warnings from 
fellow hams, we need to be reporting them to the ACA, so they can be hit 
with the proverbial cluestick, and realise that if they want to do the 
'cool' things like APRS, they need to do the extra work to get a higher 
class license..?

Just my thoughts, anyway..

.. Says the guy who used to run a philips UHF CB into 9 co-phased 
14-element 
yagi's, to work the bernie UHF cb repeater from mt macedon ;) But that was 

before I actually got my bum into gear and got my ham license..   Though 
that 1x2" wood and copper welding wire contraption was a sight to behold!

  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
