If Authorized by a Legal Licensed Amateur
 

Is a non-licensed Amateur allowed to broadcast using a licensed
call-sign of an amateur who has given permission to that individual?
Obviously the licensed individual would be fully responsible for
anything the unlicensed individual did, but is it legal in practice?

For starters, "broadcasting" as defined by the amateur rules is not allowed
even by the amateur.

As previously discussed, a non-licensed person can transmit if and only if a
properly licensed person is physically present where they can insure the
proper operation of the station.

I wish that were completely true, Dee. There is a special exception which
allows organizations such as the ARRL to broadcast, and has opened the door
nut-so operators such as Glenn Baxter to abuse the exception. In any case,
there must always be a licensed control operator present and monitoring when
an amateur station is transmitting - and a Radio Shack timer does not meet
that requirement! OM

K1MAN operations are completely legal, despite the
sociopathic ravings of a small vocal group of hams who
claim he is doing something illegal.

not true, the rules govening Information bulletins applies to all
amateur radio operators and NOT just the ARRL.

An unlicensed amateur operator may use a amateur station but, the
licensed amateur operator must be at the control point at all times.

No one said "just the ARRL." However, Baxter's repeated and re-repeated
"bulletins" are what is called "disruptive jamming" and not "amateur radio
related informational" transmissions. And a Radio Shack timer is NOT a
"control operator." Un-monitored and uncontrolled transmissions ARE
illegal. So are the advertisements that are NOT "information bulletins." The
FCC needs to be decisive with this nutcase. OM

Yes I am aware of the special definitions for bulletins and code practice
(and the abuse thereof) but I was keeping it basic to address the particular
case presented.

K1MAN transmissions are completely legal, and always
have been, despite the lunatic ravings of a few Baxter
haters who make up lies about Baxter.

Your name calling and lies do not change the fact that
Baxter is 100% in compliance with all FCC rules &
regulations.
