"Noncommercial"?  Hmm.  Silly mee.  I saw "rec.radio.noncomm"
and thought it meant "noncommunications" as in telemetry and
Loran and that sort of thing...

...and I got real apathetic...

Well, that's changing right now.  I don't see where there's any
sort of a need to delineate between for-profit and non-profit
radio.  And if there was, I'd certainly expect the new group
to concentrate on commercial radio rather than noncommercial.

It would make more sense if there was a rec.radio.broadcast
for discussions of mainstream, non-hobbyist radio bands.
(Including not only the N.A. 535-1600KHz and 88-108MHz, but also
the Far-Eastern 76-92MHz and Eurasian/African LW bands).

Any takers for a change in the paradigm?

Okay, buddy.  Put your arms out, close your eyes, tilt your head
back, hold this piece of coax in your mouth, and touch your nose --
HOLD IT!  Perfect.  Now stand like that for 24 minutes...
