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


Yes I am aware of the special definitions for bulletins and code practice
(and the abuse thereof) but I was keeping it basic to address the particular
case presented.
