Speak for yourself - who ever said that the government and private
industry own the ether? I haven't worked HF for a year  (not because I
don't like it), but instead am very active in VHF/UHF repeater
activities. These include providing emergency communiations in times of
disasters and constructing networks of repeaters covering large parts of
the state of California. I've learned a lot about radio doing this, and
I think it would be a shame if private enterprise finally choked off the
last activity on these bands.

The repeater controllers we use put most commercial ones to shame. These
have been developed by hams, not GE and Motorola, who are still living
back in the 1950's.
Someday, I'm sure that the commercial radio industry will catch up with
what's been developed by the hams . . .
