Is a non-licensed Amateur allowed to broadcast using a licensed
call-sign
of an amateur who has given permission to that individual? Obviously the
licensed individual would be fully responsible for anything the
unlicensed
individual did, but is it legal in practice?
For starters, "broadcasting" as defined by the amateur rules is not
allowed
even by the amateur.
I wish that were completely true, Dee. There is a special exception which
allows organizations such as the ARRL to broadcast, and has opened the door
nut-so operators such as Glenn Baxter to abuse the exception. In any case,
there must always be a licensed control operator present and monitoring when
an amateur station is transmitting - and a Radio Shack timer does not meet
that requirement! OM
