Golf is a hobby not a service. Why
ham-radio is a "service" ?


It is a service because that is how it is defined and
authorized under FCC rules Part 97.

All hams dont want to be considered as a public
service. Everybody has not the military
spirit. Let Them choose!


There is nothing to choose. It is a service.
In actual day-to-day activity, the fact that
ham radio is a service still allows individuals
to be hams on nothing more than a personal
hobby basis.

Suppress amateur
radio as a service in ITU rules. To be
considered as a service has many
drawbacks for the ham rights, you
are always dependent of what a
governement wants. Does the governement
has any influence on how you want to
play golf ?


The government will ALWAYS have a say in ham radio
because the radio spectrum is not a privatlely owned
resource. Under US law and under the laws of
most countries, the government (the FCC in the USA)
gets to specify the rules for amateur radio.

No, you can play in the manner you want.
So let the hams vote if they want to
continue to be a service. The answer is
evident, they will vote for FREEDOM.

So act for "NO SERVICE INTERNATIONAL" !


Sorry, there is NO opportunity for
you or anyone else to vote as you wish.
