My opinion is machine is illegal becaues it not in US territory when
retransmit. Use it and you just the same as using pirate offshore
station and FCC should fine you. But FCC owned by pepole like Don
Clancy and so look other way. That why I hate FCC so come my blog
to see more.

Not true, the station is in fact very LEGAL, I've use to work space
station MIR on a handheld on 2 meters both voice and packet, I've also
worked oscar 10 which was 10 meters up, 2 meters down or the other way
around I forget it was long ago.
