There's nothing wrong with the English version! Any communications
attorney can understand it with no problem. big grin.

When I was an advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Communications (40
years ago) one of my jobs was to rewrite and translate their amateur
rules into English. No big deal - I'm technically fluent in both
languages. Same for the Norwegian, or Swahili, or Urdu - get someone
who is technically fluent in both languages and it's a snap.

That job was a lot of fun, however. I fixed some problems that they
didn't even know they had (and got reciprocity and third-party traffic
approved in the process)! even bigger grin
