As much as I enjoy the banter, animosity and sometimes really brilliant posts, I want to remind everyone that this is a HOBBY!
Amateur Radio.
Shut up and have fun, some of you take this WAY TO SERIOUSLY.

Hi Kevin, KF7MYK
The official Definitios given by IARU ( the International Amateur Radio Union) for the Amateur Service and the Amateur-Satellite Service are the following :
ARTICLE Nr1
3.34 Amateur Service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-training
,
intercommunication and technical investigations carried out
by
amateurs, that is,by duly authorized persons interested in
radio
technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.3.35 Amateur Satellite Service: A radiocommunication service using space stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the amateur
service.
As you can realize the Amateur Service and the Amateur Satellite Service are not defined as an "HOBBY" but as a "SERVICE" for self-training , intercommunication and technical investigations activity and this is why we receive the permission to use the radio frequency spectrum at no cost because the technical knowledge that one of us get with the Amateur Service is a profit at zero cost for the Community.

The problem with these definitions is that the ITU defines all radio users as services, even CB falls under land mobile services. Guess CB is not a hobby too.

Hi Andre, PE1RDW
I don't have at hand the ITU definitions for "land mobile services" but this services are only for intercommunication and not for the purposes of self-training ,and technical investigations in radio technique as is the Amateur Service and the Amateur Satellite Service.
