If one doesn't operate, one doesn't need a license.

Then you'll never be able to test those exotic transmitters you build.

My ham license gives me something that no other radio service allows, the
ability to build the transmitting equipment, and try new things. There is
no more flexible a radio service than ham radio. Everyone else is
channelized, limited to some specific use in some specific band, with
limitations on mode and maybe even operating time. Amateur radio allows
multiple modes (and trying new modes), just about anywhere in a given
band, with bands over the full spectrum (yes, even now back below the AM
braodcast band), using just about any kind of antenna and often power not
allowed some radio services.
