Tsk, tsk, tsk, "Buzz," if you look harder at Definitions and "Basis
and Purpose" political boilerplate, you will see that amateur radio
is for "non-essential communications" and done "without pecuniary
interest!" That pretty much defines an AVOCATION, "Buzz." You
know what? An avocation is a HOBBY! [amazing but true]

Your definition lennieboy, not the FCC's. Nowhere does the FCC define
Amateur Radio as a hobby. Please quote me where the FCC defines Amateur
Radio as a "hobby".

If you look farther in Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations you will
see that ALL Parts use the word "service." [amazing but true]
The FCC uses the word "service" as a regulatory term defining
a type and kind of radio. How about that Citizens Band Radio
SERVICE, "Buzz?" :-) [got yer uniform on?]

Nowhere does the FCC define Amateur Radio as a hobby.

Try not to be so stupid, I know that's a real chore for you. Time to
take your meds and lay down for a while.
