I am fully qualified, by long experience and training
to "operate" radio equipment.

The FCC does not think so.

I'm just not AUTHORIZED to emit
RF within U.S. amateur radio bands as a civilian.

You are neither qualified nor authorized to
operate an amateur radio station.

He's not "AUTHORIZED" to emit RF OUTSIDE the U. S. Amateur Bands as
a
civilian, either, except under the auspices of someone else's STATION
LICENSE.

So sayeth the FCC.

Or under Part 95 regulations, which
require no special training or experience.

Your opinion on the issue does not matter.

Only becasue his "opinion" is usually NOT based upon practical
experience
or facts. A bad combination.

No.

Len's opinion on the issue does not matter
because Len does not regulate
radio.

Our opinion on the issue does not matter.

Sure it does! It is from the perspective of practiced and experienced
knowledge.

No.

Our opinion on the issue does not matter
because we do not regulate
radio.

FCC's opinion on the issue does matter.

And they stated it right there on HIS license. No station license, no
"operating". No ambiguity at all.

No operator license, either. A commercial
license does not authorize or qualify its
holder
to operate an amateur radio station.

So, by the FCC's own definition, Len is
neither qualified nor authorized to operate
an amateur radio station.

It is only the FCC's opinions and definitions
which matter on the issue.

That is reality.
