Except in certain specific cases, an Amateur Radio operator cannot be paid to operate an Amateur Radio station. In most cases this also means that you cannot operate an Amateur Radio station during the time that you are being paid by your employer.". That's true as well - in *most* cases. Not *all* cases. Where do you suppose they came up with that goofball interpretation of the rule? It's not a "goofball interpretation" at all. It's just common sense. In *most* cases you cannot legally operate an Amateur Radio station during the time that you are being paid by your employer. The exceptions a - Teachers and other educators that use Amateur Radio as part of the curriculum (that's in the rules) - Break times, layover/rest times and meal periods, when the employee is being paid but is not expected to be working. - Space Shuttle and other space operations (generally considered to be a combination of the above two exceptions) - In an emergency situation if all other means of communication are not available. (This applies to just about any radio available - but it better be a real emergency!) Ok... I'm on a salary, I get paid for a week of work but I take a day off to go fishin'... I talk on my 2mtr and by your interpertation, I'm illegal because I'm using my 2mtr while I'm getting paid. No, the "Break times....." comment applies to the day off situation. You are getting paid but you are not expected to be working. And you are not getting paid to specifically operate that radio. Dee, N8UZE |
