Kinda like your leading
question as to whether we should "trivalize the Amateur Radio service
so we can accomodate the FEW who prefer to toss the monies away on beer,
broads and booze?"

Quoted out of context...Again, I'd expect nothing less, Hans.

Jim Miccolis made a SPECIFIC reference to a person he supposedly knew
who
was addicted to tobacco, and suggested in his post that his friend would
rather spend money on his addiction than divert the money to Amateur Radio.

I think *I'm* being quoted out of context there...

My point about my smoking friend was that, in *his* value system, smoking a lot
took higher priority than saving up for a ham station. Part of this was no
doubt addiction-fueled, but another part was that he even though he bought 'em
by the carton, his cigarette expenditures were relatively small, relatively
frequent purchases. If he had to buy a year's worth of smokes all at once, he
might have quit.

I ask, would YOU trivialize Amateur Radio just to accomodate a few who
would have to choose between Amateur Radio or purient addictions?

How is Hans' or my opposition to license fees trivializing amateur radio?
