The difference between passing an exam so that you can register a
callsign in order to obtain government permission to transmit and the
licence scheme in most other countries is much too subtle for me. What
is the difference? If transmitting without a callsign remains illegal,
this looks remarkably like a transmitting licence.


It's definitely a severe case of 'double-Dutch'.
