Hans:
I would of course agree with that ..but will add one thing. When I was in
college ..I worked at a ship to shore station (Amagansett Radio/WSL) doing CW
and SITOR. The Amateur ops in general were vastly superior to the commercial
ones. No idea why.

For 21 years I was a Navy Radioman, rising to Master Chief Radioman. That was
professional communications. For 22 years after that I worked in the
communications industry designing professional communications equipment.
What I've done for 50 years "off duty" with my toy radios is indeed amateurish
in any comparison.

I always point out to people who ask me about "amateur" radio; The
"amateur" connotation refers only to the fact that we may accept no
remuneration for the activities we perform under our FCC licenses. That
"amateur" connotation however, makes us no less "professional" as we are or
we wish to achieve in any of the numerous aspects of our hobby. There is
nothing "amateurish" in the amateur radio activities I am pursuing.

"Professional" contesters in "amateur" radio seems to be an oxymoron.
None of us should take ourselves too seriously.
