Should the FCC exist?

The FCC's powers are so limited now as it is, that they barely exist. You've got to be a real screw-up for the FCC to come after you much less "bust" you.

I sometimes wonder why I ever bothered to study and get my Amateur Radio license with all the idiots that come onto the HF bands using pirated/stolen equipment and acting like a bunch of grade-school children disrupting everyone elses' activities.

Like I said, they barely exist and barely have any enforcement capabilities now. As I type this I'm on an HF Net getting jammed by some asshole CB'er who'll never get caught.

A-hole has his rig boosted up big, huh? Imagine dealing with that at a commercial radio station, big trucks blaring Channel 19 right next to your studio...

(I can't describe how PO'ed I'd get, back in the day.)
