I'm not sure if anyone answered Norman's question or not, so I'll
take a stab at it.

Norman, I suspect that you will find yourself perfectly happy as an
amateur, and would suggest that you go for your license. You will not only
be able to operate - and be in fsmilisr territory - but you will also have
the ability to build and modify equipment, antennas and a lot of other
freedoms as an amateur. Your experience may also come in very handy if you
are interested in emergency comms.

Looking forward to hearning you announce your licensing here some
day. 8^)

Actually it was Chappie who made the original post with the question. (I've
been a licenced amateur for nearly 43 years.) But I fully agree with your
answer.
