Service means just that. Broadcasters
have to do public service to keep

do PSA's. No money involved, they

Nonsense. What public service is performed by those in the Citizens Band
Radio Service? Or the Family Radio Service? Or what public service,
especially free public service, is provided by the radio services used by
business, commerce, or industry?


(snip) You also would have to prove
that 75% of the amareurs provide a
public service. Lets see, chasing DX,
rag chewing with Barny down the
road and checking the weather
outside. Yep, thats sure public
service-----NOT!


After reading that, it is obvious you have no intent to honestly discuss
the issue. And, since I have no desire to provide you with an opportunity to
spread misinformation, I will refrain from further comment.

The newsgroups "rec.radio.shortwave" and "rec.radio.cb" were again deleted
from this reply (off-topic in those newsgroups).
