Well, I like the idea - so I vote yes.

I would, however, prefer to see the name something like rec.radio.public -
simply because its a little easier to remember and becuase I am fundamentally
opposed to the use of abbreviations in news group names, especially uncommon
ones (non-comm - radio for non-commisioned officers? I know, lame example)
