There's probably not much meaning in most of the absurd rules that various departments make and you are right, some mindless bureacrat who does not know the difference between HAM radio and HAM (as in pig meat) would have made such modifications! Maybe I am harsh but I have realized that being soft doesn't pay. All the best, I think you guys need to have a pressure group.Capt.

Murthy<BR/>It is surprising that a non radio operator like you understands the economics of the hobby better than the persons who are at the helm of bureacracy. It has been worked out by someone who has no idea of what the hobby is all about. A movement is on to bring to the notice of the Government the predicament the new Rule has put the radio operators in. Active involvement of all radio operators is required to tide over this mindless change.Madhukar - VU2MUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088922019733337121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23720213.post-1143890885056034532006-04-01T16:58:00.000+05:302006-04-01T16:58:00.000+05:30The licensing fee is indeed large, this is not gol...The licensing fee is indeed large, this is not golf, a rich man's sport/hobby. HAM radio should have been treated differently. How much is the Government going to earn from HAM radio enthusiasts? It is simply crazy! Changes may be needed to reduce the paperwork and make it easy and affordable for people to delve into electronics and radio as a hobby. This is a hobby that only enhances the mind, and does not need retrograde actions from the Government, am I right Mr. Madhukar?Capt.
