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

There is no such definition.


Check a decent dictionary and you will find it.

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


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

97.

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."
