Tommy,
Where is that about defining the amateur service as a "hobby"? The only
mention of hobby I can find is referencing a petition by Holliday
concerning handicapped individuals on page 7. Is there another hobby
reference I'm missing somewhere?
Paragraph 4 on page 3 clearly defines the amateur service as it
currently exists in the regulations.
