What do you define amateur radio as?

I'm quite comfortable with the FCC definition.

Personally, I prefer the definition of Amateur Radio provided by the
ARRL, RAC, RSGB (and most other Amateur Radio organizations) - a hobby
activity.

From a regulatory perspective, it is a service provided to the public.
It's what we do with that service that makes it a hobby - and an
excellent one at that!

....although sitting on the porch with a dozen beers may also have some
merit - I'll check that one out this summer :P
