In the clubs I belong to, one must either possess a valid amateur radio
license
I have been to several clubs, and they have never required a licence to be a
member. If they requred one, they don't enforce it.

Yes, but you would have to call yourself a "ham", not a "radio brother". If you
would like to refer to yourself as a piece of meat, that's your preference.
In my opinion, if you enjoy radio as a hobby, you need not identify with the
historical or cultural reference to the word "ham". If you came from outside
that context, but also enjoy radio, you should not call yourself a "ham". Most
likely, you have came from outside the context, so the terminology of the word
"ham" would not apply to you.
Now you gave me a headache wading through that one, Vipul! 8^)
