This is not the spirit of ham radio that I grew up with. The
tradition of ham radio is helping your fellow hams and
contributing to your community. Certainly the burden of rent
and other expenses of putting together a station ought to be
shared, but please forgive me if I am apalled by an interest
in making money on something like this.

There's nothing illegal about charging rent or leasing
equipment and space.

Yes. Where I live in Northern California, a number of hams
have found land in remote areas and put together stations
over a period of years. They work in the city, but take off
on occasional weekends to play ham radio. Some do this in
pairs or in small groups. There's cost in doing this, as
well as a lot of work, and that cost is shared.
