I wonder if you go back to Ham Radios, is there a guarantee there's no "bots"?
Surely nobody is gonna put a terminator on the mic, right? Right?
For the moment it is probably bot free, but some of the most technically sharp people I know play with ham radios so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.
Ham had bots before the internet existed. See: Numbers Stations.
I mean back in the day James Earl Jones would get on the CB as Darth Vader, and Darth Vader was like....half bot, right?? Lol
It would probably be harder but not impossible. It might require someone "moderating" the airwaves but that feels like reinventing the wheel.
Seems like a fun little project though
