The general term for noncommercial is a station that can't make a
profit, but can make money to substain the station. Then you have the
amateur rules which state an amateur station can make money direct or
indirect period. K1MAN is a primary example of this no money direct or
indirect period which the FCC is enforcing and the ARRL supports. that
was last week, now you have the ARRL this week getting a grant to give
to amateur operators to basically compensate them for doing radio
communication down south. I REALLY hope the FCC is watching this crap
as a matter of fact I'm going to copy and paste this and sent it to the
FCC and a few other people I know. I posted it on QRZ but those asshole
knocked it off their site. Because Like I said what applies for one
should apply for all.
