Duly corrected. I know you don't have to prove you're
a ham to by a transceiver. Then, the question becomes,
is it worth it to purchase a dedicated ham band
transceiver??

You don't need a license to listen on an amateur radio transceiver,
same concept as any other service we can listen to w/o needing a
license.

One thing, isn't operation of a transceiver illegal without
a ham license??

For my money, getting a better used shortwave or
improving the antenna would allow you to pull in
hams better.
