You're right. Can't argue that.
My last really active period was doing message handling, I was a local 2 meter relay for MARS back in the days of the Gulf War, bringing messages to local families from the troops. It was a very rewarding experience.
Maybe it was because my entire ham experience has been limited to the 2 meter band.....
