Can you explain the service aspects of ham radio ...

From Webster's: "service - an administrative division
of government" In the USA, that means a service TO
the citizens BY the government. The service comes
from the government, not from the citizens.

All throughout Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations, the word
"service" is used as the type and kind of radio being regulated.
It is a regulatory term in that context. One can write the FCC
and get that information.

All too often, amateurs who think too much of themselves try to
use "service" as equivalent to some (undefined) "national service"
such as being a part of the military or a government position. :-)

Part 95 describes Citizens Band Radio SERVICE and the Radio
Control Radio SERVICE. :-)
