Maybe I'm confused.  I read the spec and thought it said to put Ham
Radio apps in either Network or Audio.  I did see the HamRadio Legacy
category but didn't see the HamRadio entry
in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu which is where I thought it should
be.  

I don't think there should be a subcategory of Network or Audio.  This
would be nice to add to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu:

  <!-- Ham Radio -->
  <Menu>
    <Name>HamRadio</Name>
    <Directory>HamRadio.directory</Directory>
    <OnlyUnallocated/>
    <Include>
      <And>
        <Category>HamRadio</Category>
      </And>
    </Include>
  </Menu> <!-- End HamRadio -->

I'm sure this is not 100% correct as I just copied it from "Other" but
it does work in that menu only appears when a Ham app is installed.

As with the rail barons of the past:
There is no reason why the computer industry should have to put up 
with 'private standards' any longer. The word 'incompatible' is a 
dirty word. It's time to run those who insist on using it out of the 
business.
