I had always thought it was expressly forbidden to accept any

That's true. But in this case there is no compensation for operation; ra=

expense reimbursement(food?/transportation?/lodging?). This would be sim=

being given a plane ticket, food and lodging vouchers, and sent to provid=

volunteer services, without any compensation for those services.

That distinction covers the legalities which I'm sure both CNCS and ARRL =
lawyers
have examined. All that said, at a more basic personal level I'd be
uncomfortable taking this reimbursement, preferring to just let the expen=
ses be
part of my (tax deductible) contribution to the recovery effort.

I am sure the Lawyers have looked at it. I also know that you can
normaly find support for about anything in the body of legal precedent.


But like Todd I find it troubleing when laid next to K1MAN
