![]() "Anonymous" wrote in message news:J2MH52HJ38045.6499652778@anonymous... Golf is a hobby not a service. Why ham-radio is a "service" ? It is a service because that is how it is defined and authorized under FCC rules Part 97. All hams dont want to be considered as a public service. Everybody has not the military spirit. Let Them choose! There is nothing to choose. It is a service. In actual day-to-day activity, the fact that ham radio is a service still allows individuals to be hams on nothing more than a personal hobby basis. 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 ? The government will ALWAYS have a say in ham radio because the radio spectrum is not a privatlely owned resource. Under US law and under the laws of most countries, the government (the FCC in the USA) gets to specify the rules for amateur radio. 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" ! Sorry, there is NO opportunity for you or anyone else to vote as you wish. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |
