Yeah. I remember back in the early 90's working 27.375-27.999 a lot of guys were running Icoms, Yaesu's and Kenwoods on huge towers, big Yagi's and modified ham linear's along with $1200.00 rotators. Admittedly the were obviously better than the run of the mill cobra or midland, however its quite an investment to only utilize a very small amount of spectrum.

What I meant is for some HAM to put in all the time, effort, and expense, and use it only to be an ass on the air.

Yes Josh I see what you were saying after rereading your post. I was experiencing a brief period of oxygen not getting to my brain and went off course . You are absolutely right. It's a of very expensive and time wasting investment to troll people via RF.

Damn it.. I did it again... Note to self. Only Five beers before posting and not Six.

I was listening to 5830 early this morning around 0500 UTC and as it faded out, I switched to 80m to make sure it wasn't my radio or antenna, and caught these jackalopes on 3860. When I see mental illness on the sidewalks in downtown Chicago I shrug it off as sad but harmless. However, I find something dark and sinister about such insanity paired with the financial resources and intelligence to get on-air recordings, edited in near-realtime, booming out with a huge signal on 80m for the sake of...I suppose just being noticed.
