[SOC] Good grief...

Just wondering why is it shaming to show your ham licence when buying
equipment ? If you are ashamed of it, just give it back. IMHO.

Now now Claude ;^)  I don't have a problem with requiring a license to get a
radio, I just don't like the whole database thing.

<<<
FCC would then be able to trace you and/or would get private info ?
Are you naive enough to think that they do not _yet_ know what they want
to know ? Or that they do not have other ways to get the info ? Tss,tss ...

They already know more than they need to.  Why do they need to know what
rigs I have in my shack?  It isn't any of their business.  Their only
purpose is to keep the spectrum "unclogged".  And if you ask me, they aren't
doing a very good job of it :^)
