Ya got that WRONG!


Nope.

FCC rules apply on US soil. Foreign rules apply on
foreign soil. At best you might get some reciprocal privs, but those
privs are under the rules of the soil you stand on.


If you are,say, a citizen of the Republic of the Philippines,
operating with your US Amateur call of KZ5ZZZ/DU, you must still
observe US laws while doing so.

If, while identifying as such, you were jamming others, operating
contrary to your license privileges and using 10,000w of power, you'd
still be breaking US law since you voluntarily ID with the US callsign.

Again, in the part you didn't quote, I said the FCC may not be
able to actually get at you to prosecute you, but they CAN suspend or
revoke your license. The "locals" would no doubt have some harsh words
for you too.
