Also, some of the people on the list may not be hams.

No, they're all hams.

Maybe, maybe not.

If they hold a valid amateur radio license, they're hams. By definition.

Just reviewed Part 97. I must have missed it. Kindly direct me to
the proper paragraph.

There is no such definition.

Thank you. You are correct. There is no mention of the word "ham" in Part 97.

Sure there is, albeit not in Part 97.

You won't find Police Officers refered to as "cops" in municipal or
"official" documents, but if you say "cops", everyone knows who you are talking
about.

There's also no mention of "Vipul" in Part 97, but you're a Ham too,
Vippy. Live with it.

Check a decent dictionary and you will find it.

Government documents always use formal English. "Ham" is an informal term
so is not used in government documents. However just check a good
dictionary and you will find the definition of "amateur radio operator."

Nor is there a mention of hobby -- it is the Amateur Radio Service.
