I would really like to know the answers to this!


The FCC says this:

§97.3 Definitions.

(a) (1) Amateur operator. A person named in an amateur
operator/primary station grant on the ULS consolidated
licensee database

If your name is on an unexpired license grant, you're a real ham.

Next question?

Thanks Hans, I knew that part. I was wondering what people here think a
real ham is. In the past 10 years I've heard so much belittling about
lower class licenses, I was just curious what others thought was on this
subject? I understand that there is no real answer and most of it is
just an opinion.
Some people here wouldn't consider anybody a real ham unless they could
quote all the FCC rules and regs. by heart!
