Just for the record, everyone on Echolink (links and individuals

not sure that it is really necessary, but it happens. So, like it or
not, there's very little chance of a non-licenced person using
Echolink.

How can you possibly do that? The Echolink validation team, as you
call them, do not have privileged access to licensing records ... and
we are talking about worldwide records, not just the UK. If someone
appeared under a callsign randomly selected from the callbook, or even
just made up an unallocated M3 callsign and came on Echolink, how
would you know he wasn't a pirate?

How do you know my licence hasn't expired?

easy for australians the aca data base is publick domain
