I wished more hams on HF would, during exercises or events to give NVIS a 
try and start implementing it's use all over the Country for Emergency use. 
The concept works so well and the system works so good in most cases, they'd 
suprise themselves...without running high power and with a bunch less noise 
and QRM.
