Yes...
Looooong time ago I was interested in radio-amateurism..
The biggest fun of all was to design and build own radio-transciever.
But the fun was spoilt and actually destroyed (for me) by availability of commercial radios - they were good, (relatively) cheap, and they worked out of the box, so everyone just bought equipment, and after a bit of fiddling with antennas, you were on air, talking with almost anyone across Atlantic (money always wins) .
This is why I never became ham-radio enthusiast.
