Screw the King's decree on HAM licenses.
When you really need a radio the government won't be very operational anyhow.
Its like a convicted felon using a gun to save his life.
If a weather or civil event occurs that fudges stuff up for a period the King be damned if communications means my survival or others.
File this one under civil disobedience.
I get it there are the equivalent of Call of Duty radio comm jerks out there who will broadcast on critical channels, but some HAM operators are literally snobby rats for the government as volunteer monitors. Besides some specific situations, this is the epitome of a victimless crime if you SPEAK over a HAM channel.
