If they hold a valid amateur radio license, they're hams. By definition.
The definition, as it appears in part 97, recently changed. By law,
now, a ham is anyone who is listed on the FCC database as being
licensed to serve as the control operator of an amateur radio station.
You are correct, sir!
The definition of "holds a valid amateur radio license" is that you are in the
appropriate database. Actually having the paper document is not the determining
factor - the databese is.
Thnaks for the update
