With all due respect, I suspect the "offending word was used as an adjective, not a noun.
That is to say when the journalist used the word amateur they were using the meaning of "not professional".
The story is full of holes and a definite lack of understanding, which likely means they would have no idea what "Amateur Radio" is, let alone use an abbreviated form of the name.
