Let's end this thread at this time in the interest of keeping list volume under
control. Amateur Radio Policy discussions should be continued on other forums
or via direct email between participants.

Subpart A_General Provisions
Sec. 97.3 Definitions.
(4) Amateur service. A radiocommunication service for the purpose of
self-training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried
out by amateurs, that is, duly authorized persons interested in radio
technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.
Means you can't make any money (or profit) of any kind for having/using your
license. It's still on the written test too.
The only remuneration that is acceptable is to reimburse Volunteer Examiners
for the training and testing expenses.

Hi Ron,
Section 97.112 with the no remuneration for use of station provision
was eliminated from the regulations some years ago. So I think it is
now legal to rent out your station to other operators.
However, the communications for hire section 97.113 appears to make it
illegal to PAY someone to use your station. So you can't hire a dream
team of world-class contesters to put your callsign at the top of the
Sweepstakes, for example.
But there's no rule against giving them free beer and pizza. :=)
