Disturbing, but revealing. The more oppressive a country, the less likely you'll see hams. Think North Korea. Iran has few operators and very limited privileges (see https://dxnews.com/forum/forum/amateur- ... ng-in-iran).

Very sad. Most folks in our nation don't know how lucky they are to live here.

And it's all subject to change.

Before this goes in a direction where I have to act as a moderator, let's all remember one of the rules here are no political discussions.

In person, with me, we can have all the political discussions you would like, if you dare. :mrgreen: We just can't do it here.

Whoops...sorry. This is one subject that does walk a fine line, eh?

No worries. When I first saw your post, I knew it could take a turn, so I'm watching it closely. If it goes south I can always moderate posts, and, if need be, lock the thread. It's a teachable exercise. :D
