Of course it is. However, commercial band users MAY operate
in ham bands which are not allocated exclusively for amateurs. :-)

There is a world of difference between that statement and your
statement that Hams were free to operate during the two year period
after their license expires.


For that matter, the federal government seldom requires "licensing"
of radio operators, civilian or military, whether in or outside of
amateur bands.

So what?


ALL of Title 47 C.F.R. applies to ALL USA citizens. Yes, that
includes amateur radio licensees. :-) In that you will find that, if
there is a REAL emergency situation, there is NO prohibition
against anyone using any frequency, any mode for help. True.
Ain't gonna be no Raddio Polizei saying "papers please" while
wearting leather topcoats and armbands in a REAL emergency.

Emergency comms is in another ongoing thread. Do you believe that we are
trying to argue that expired licensees can't use any frequencies during
an emergency? I don't recall anyone saying that.


So, have the court clerk read back the court transcript. :-)

Check, check.... is this microphone on?......OK....

Lenof21 All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in their grace
Lenof21 period. There is no necessity (nor sense) to eliminate those in the
Lenof21 grace period from those in the normal 10-year license period from
Lenof21 any class totals.


Don't get your legal briefs in a twist.

Glad you feel that way! 8^)


Some argumentative amateur word-twister is going to pop in and
shout/holler "this is an amateur radio newsgroup!" Well, if so, why
is all the Chat Room nonsense going on between "regulars" in here
which is NOT about amateur radio? :-)

Hehe, Word twisting? Commercial licenses and Emergency operations
dictated by an expired license?


So, in here, what is different with everyone else? Lots of gabble about
politics, economics, business activities none of the gabblers have been
in, the divinity of morsemanship ability above all other amateur skills.

What is different is that there is (or should be) an expectation of the
initial premise being true. It is simply not true that:

Lenof21 All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in
Lenof21 their grace period. There is no necessity (nor sense) to
Lenof21 eliminate those in the grace period from those in the normal
Lenof21 10-year license period from any class totals.

You appear to want us to simply allow you to be "right", regardless of
your incorrect statements.

No thanks! 8^)
