Are you saying that you would knowingly work out of band amateurs?

Without the aforementioned database of EVERYONE'S allocations,
how would it be possible for anyone to KNOW who is "out of band" and
who's legit?

How am I to know from one day to the next what a Frrenchman's
allocations are?

You're not being asked to.

(Sheeesh!)

SURE I am! Today I may "know" than the "F" guys can't use
52.525Mhz, but what about tomorrow...the day after...6 hours from now?

That's why it's incumbent upon the transmitting station to know
where he/she is operating...NOT me.

I asked "if you knew that they were operating out of band, would you
work them anyway?"

And without keeping some instantly updated database, HOW am I
supposed to know this?

No one other than Dave, and now you, has ever proposed having to know
all amateur allocations at all times.

Then that makes two of us who see the hillarity of your rantings
about who was "out-of-band" and who wasn't.

You and Lennie are the only two trying to make issue out of it.
Lennie tries because he's an idiot with NO license and NO experience
operating.

YOUR excuse...?!?!

The question was, "if you knew..."

I would "know" if I had some means of being informed. I don't.
MOST U.S. Amateurs I know don't.

Are you saying that you would knowingly work out of band amateurs?

Under what circumstances...I have "worked" stations out of my
"authorized" bands before. But I ALSO had good reason and
justification for it.

Thier government is just as likely as ours is to
change the rules, so without keeping a database of some sort on
EVERYONE'S allocations, how is a prudent American Amateur to know if
the guy/gal he's working is "legit" or not?

That wasn't the question, and you know it. Just another diversion.
But I'll bet they're the same as when Dave was working out-of-banders
in downtown Dar es Salaam.

It's not a "diversion"...You are trying to insist that everyone
"know" where other Amateurs are legally operating or not...but then
you disclaim that's your intent...Your actions prove otherwise.

So many Dave apologists, so little time.

It's not apolgetic. It's the truth.
