Davie boy...I am fully qualified, by long experience and training

So you've told us on countless occasions. Of course, that would seem to
be a mode dependent statement.
I'm just not AUTHORIZED to emit
RF within U.S. amateur radio bands as a civilian.
That's funny, I thought I said that. I'll not that you are not in the
military so "as a civilian" would be the only way for you to emit RF in
the ham bands. Ah, but you can't do that.
Nor is Lennie AUTHORIZED to emit RF within any OTHER band, except within
the limits of the STATION LICENSE of the person or entity who retains his
services, and then ONLY when acting under the auspices of that license.
So sayeth the FCC.
You have self-established "definitions" which are incorrect outside
of amateurism.
"Amateurism"? What, pray tell, is that? The only definition I'm
concerned with, Lennie boy, is the one which prevents you from taking to
the air under Part 97 of the FCC regs.
I am wondering about those "self-established "definitions"" too.
Seems to me that all of the licensed persons here (with the exception of
Vippy) pretty much understand all of the "definitions". The one who is
confused and keeps trying to re-write any "definitions" is the guy without the
license and without any practical experience in AMATEUR Radio.
To use your definitions in your own quaint way of
defining things, I couldn't even check out radios on a bench in a
clean room.
...not transmitters with an antenna attached under Part 97, you
couldn't.
My "quaint way" says that you aren't a ham. It really is that simple.
You imply (incorrectly) that I could not, ever,
"operate" any radio in any HF place...which is not truth according
to U.S. radio regulations.
You MAY operate an HF radio on 11 meters without further licensure or
exam. You may also do so under Part 15 in certain bands.
You may only operate a maritime radio that has a proper FCC station
license, and with the permission of the owner or Captain. (assuming you are on
a US-flagged vessel.)
I implied no such thing, Lennie boy. I wrote quite precisely what I
meant to convey. I couldn't care less about where you operate HF as a
non-radio amateur which, after all, is what you are.
Seems Lennie's a "non" in a LOT of things.
Amateur radio operators are NOT authorized to emit RF outside of
amateur radio bands...unless they have a valid commercial radio
operator's license.
Do you think that comes as a surprise to those of us who are radio
amateurs? Is it your feeling that we'd feel hurt by such a statement?
Why does Lennie seem to think that uttering all sorts of obscure
"revelations" about radio regulations presents him as "enlightened"...???
With the aforementioned exceptions not withstanding, Lennie is not
authorized to emit RF ANYwhere where the Stars and Stripes flies.
It really is THAT simple.
