Default Did this Amateur Violate US Neutrality Act?

His US license status isn't material to the question.

If he is violating the laws of a sovereign country (including being in
that country 'undocumented'), that is by definition an illegal act in
that country. If XE1ABC sneaks across the Rio Grande, his Mexican
amateur license status isn't material to the question of his legal
status, no matter how fast he can beep.


However, he violated the laws regulating radio transmissions in a foreign
country. FCC Part 97 requires that licesnsed operators obey the radio
transmission statutes of foreign countries, does it not?

Taken to its extreme, if the FCC permits amateurs to flout Burmese radio
laws, then the FCC should be willing to accept the consequences of Burmese
hams coming to the USA and setting up illegal transmitting stations here.

That's why we have treaties...or so I thought.
