I find it fascinating that everyone now carries a digital spread spectrum, full duplex device. When I was a kid, messing with (yes) 11 meters, and later graduation to ham, this was a fantasy from sci-fi. When the first brick cell phone came out, hams had already been "phone patching" to local repeaters for years.
Try to explain to someone why they can or cannot get a signal, basic propagation knowledge, and you get a blank stare.
No one has a clue how any of this works. We have seen Heinlein's Law in my lifetime !
