But, something ELSE operative here. Note: Your CO gave you
permission to operate. On another thread in here, some time
ago, Brian Burke was given permission by HIS CO to operate
amateur radio from a foreign land. Now all the JAG-wannabes
in here (PCTAs all) jumped all over Brian's case on that,
citing absolutely NOTHING germane, one (a "seven-hostile-action"
hero) even implying that the UCMJ didn't apply, only the FCC
regulations applied (they don't but the shell-shocked murine
didn't understand that).

Under the terms of the Kangaroo Kourt of the PCTAs:

If Brian Burke is guilty of improper amateur radio operation,
then Dan Jeswald is EQUALLY GUILTY of doing so from Germany.

If Dan Jeswald is not guilty, then Brian Burke is not guilty.

It's the SAME SORT of "OFFENSE" as codified by the PCTA.

Regardless of who Dan Jeswald is, I operated legally. I had the
permission of my commanding officer.

You operated with the tacit approval of your "commanding officer".
Since you were only an enlisted guy, it might have gotten the pressure
off of you and onto him/her had the REAL authorites decided to say
something about it.

David Heil/K8MN, worlds greatest DXer, claimed that a commanding
officer cannot give those priveleges. I proved him wrong with a quote
from the ARRL website.

And the ARRL website is not the United Nations telecommunications
authority.

Needless to say, I'm ALWAYS wary of the expertise of Extra's. They
just get it wrong so much of the time.

But not THIS time. Nor any other time that one of your rants has
been involved. YOU just can't get it right. You were, for all intents
and purposes, bootlegging. You got away with it, but it was
bootlegging nonetheless. That's why T5/N0IMD cards are no good for
DXCC purposes.
