While I know that a license is required for correct transmissions on an
amateur radio, is there anything that would make it illegal for a
non-licensed individual to use a ham radio to call for help in an
emergency situation? I see over and over the FCC emphasizes that if
you hear a call for help outside your licensed band, you may respond,
also that if you need help you can use any frequency on which you can
get help... What are thoughts on this?
