They will fail to becompetitive if they do not get on the HF bandwagon. Eventually HF training will be a jobrequirement for engineers and technologists. Training in HF leads to better designs(Bailey, 1993) and in the global competitive market, money trumps trolls. HF instructorsneed to be aware of the trolls, but keep in mind they are probably only fairy tales. Theonly acceptable course of action for the HF instructor is to be brave.ConclusionHF is liberating and crucially important. Systems engineers are not inhibited and canchoose to study any field.
