Golf is a hobby not a service. Why
ham-radio is a "service" ? All hams
dont want to be considered as a public
service. Everybody has not the military
spirit.
Lets them choose ! Suppress amateur
radio as a service in ITU rules. To be
considered as a service has many
drawbacks for the ham rights, you
are always dependent of what a
governement wants. Does the governement
has any influence on how you want to
play golf ?
No, you can play in the manner you want.
So let the hams vote if they want to
continue to be a service. The answer is
evident, they will vote for FREEDOM.

So act for "NO SERVICE INTERNATIONAL" !

being a 'service' also has its advantages. would golfers be listened to at
all if BPL were going to take away their 'right' to play golf? would
hobbyists be asked to help in time of emergency, or be ordered off the air?
if big business wanted one of our bands and all we did was hunt dx and
ragchew and didn't have a history of service to the country would the
government think twice about taking their money for it? as long as we
remain a service and at least some of us do what we can to help then all
reap the rewards... I move we get rid of the freeloaders, if you don't do so
many hours of 'service' every year you lose your license! how about them
apples! Of course that won't happen as the administration of it would be
expensive and complicated. so crawl back in your hole and accept the paper
title of the 'service' and just do what you want anyway.
