A comment on Ham radio operators are saving Puerto Rico (2017). Parent comment
Ham Radio's "Self Policing" aspect is a huge asset to both the Users and the Regulatory authorities. It's what makes Ham Radio work.
However Self Policing relies totally on user self-identification.
If we allowed anonymity, Ham Radio would become as unusable as CB radio has.
To put it another way, if you want anonymity, use CB radio.
