utterence to the drakelist gang

The shortwave stations that broadcast news etc is not just a hobby. because 
Amateur radio is just a hobby the 1000's of dollars and all the work and 
effort evolved with it means nothing?

this is more than about money gained from BPL it is a direct assault on 
communications! and it is just another way to destroy 100's of jobs that 
this so-called hobby creates through the selling of ham related gear!
