Jozef,
For what it is worth, the lone term "ham" should be used carefully in my
opinion. It is also used in theater and other efforts of endeavor, and
in some cases, it is not always viewed in a positive light.
I am always careful to use the words "Ham Radio" together except in
cases where I am discussing withe another amateur or someone who is
quite familiar with the hobby.

I always remember wanting to be a "Ham". I have now been a ham for 43
plus years having acquired WN2MIC in 1963. It is a respectful term as
well as one of endearment, in my opinion. If the public at large is
unfamiliar with or find the term "ham" as odd or unusual, then I suggest
an opportunity has opened to educate them.
