A amateur radio licence is primarily to Transmit radio signals. You do NOT 
need a licence to build  equipment or experiment.. You only need a licence 
to transmit if your equipment,  home built or otherwise radiates on 
frequencies specified on the license.
All licenses commercial or otherwise are to permit the user/operator to 
transmit on designated frequencies.
Appliance operators are not likely to build or experiment.
Apart from your activity in the past on LF/MF cw, I have not heard any of 
the others that are offering advice here on the reflector !!!!!!!
 This seems strange to me.

An amateur radio license is much more than just a transmitting
license. In most cases it permits the holder to experiment, build his
own equipment etc ...
This in contradiction to most other transmitting licenses such as CB,
PMR446 and even (most) "commercial" maritime and aeronautical licenses.
