Since  when  has  Amateur  Radio  become  a  "source  of  income"?!  I  can
understand  helping a much desired DX station  with postage by including an
IRC (International  Reply Coupon), but sending US$ to subsidize  somebody's
income is both against the  principles of amateur radio and in violation of
the law.  Amateur Radio is a hobby.  Let's not turn it into a business!
