     In that regard, I have to agree with you. But, even though I'm an   
   Amateur Extra (had to be, to become a Volunteer Examiner Teal Liason), I   
   spend all my on the air time in the Technician bands, as that's what I   
   enjoy.   
      
     The only HF I've operated was on the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad   
   Memorial Day Troop Train back in 2011.

     That was with my old callsign (AE5WX)...although we were operating 20   
   meter HF railroad mobile with the club callsign of AA5AR.
