It's an interesting study in human nature that after studying for their
license, passing the tests, and participating in this great hobby that
there are so many people will ignore the laws of physics and buy big
buck radios, amplifiers, etc. to use with tiny, ineffective antennas. I
guess it's easier to write a check than it is to think about how you can
add the best antler possible for your location.

I wonder if those people "pray" before going on the air?

“PRAY, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of
a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.”
