The term "amateur" is often applied to people who have obtained a license
to use radio equipment for communications. Is this term inclusive of
those who don't obtain a license but use receivers for various uses?
I have been looking into design of receivers in the LF to ELF frequency
ranges. Is this part of "amateur" radio?


How appropriate that you should confuse, "license" with, "licence"!


This is an international group. Trying to make an issue out of
different national spelling conventions is a bit silly.


.... and just about Gareth's only "contribution".
