Or KH6. I recall a ham on Hawaii who loaned out his PO Box to Mike
Deignan. Same ham had a Guam call, never lived on Guam. Said he had
a job offer there that never panned out, and got the call in "prep"
for moving there.


Geez, I wonder who that was?

P.S. KH0-KH9 are all in the same call area: 13.

FCC VEC exam?

No biggie. K3FK, WE3A and I used to administer them in Helsinki. A
number of the Finns passed all exam up through the Extra in one sitting.

WA8JOC handled QSLing for all of my DX operations. His mailman, Freddie
was used to the piles of QSL cards following a CQ WW DX 'test operation
but when the FCC documents began arriving with all sorts of lengthy
Finnish names, he asked Shep if he had rented the garage to a bunch of
guys from Finland. They, after all, had to provide a U.S. address
through which they could be contacted by the FCC.

Do not forget that holding an amateur license does not convey any
civil rights - _Howard v City of Burlingame_

I'm not sure what implications that has. I think I'd better try and find
that case and read it.

_Howard v City of Burlingame_, 937 F2nd 1376, (9th Cir., 1991)

"Uncle Vern" Howard got into a dispute with the city about getting
a permit for his tower as against neighbor complaints. (In the
meanwhile he put up a 65 foot tower where the original dispute was
over a 51 foot tower).

The District Court held that under the "reasonable accommodation"
factor in PRB-1 the permit had to be granted but it denied Vern's
claim for damages under 42 U.S.C. s. 1963 which awardss damages
where a local government (but not Federal) violates an individual's
civil rights "under color of law" and for attorney fees under 42 U.S.C.
s. 1988.

The parties cross-appealed to the 9th Circuit , the city appealing
the PRB-1 preemption and Vern appealing to reinstate his claim
for a declaration of protected rights and therefore eligibility for
1963 damages and 1988 fee award.

The 9th Circuit upheld the lower court but also ruled that holding
an amateur license did not confer any protected right (such as First
Amendment rights) to the licensee, and specifically the right to put
up any antenna of choice - the jurisdiction must still consider those
factors specified in PRB-1 to reach a "reasonable accommodation":

"In fact, the most significant section of the [Communications
Act] forecloses rather than supports Howard's claim: "no such
license shall be construed to create any right, beyond the terms,
conditions, and periods of the license." 47 U.S.C. Sec. 301. Such
language is evidence that no enforceable right exists under Sec.
1983, and that Congress intended to foreclose claims such as
Howard's. See Golden State, 110 S. Ct. at 449; Wilder, 110 S. Ct.
at 2523. Cf. Wright, 479 U.S. at 430. The Act thus grants no Sec.
1983 right to licensees to erect antennas."

Vern was getting up in years and didn't want to carry this to the
SCOTUS - it was a shot in the dark, as he said - so there it stands.

I already provided the callsign of the Cincinnati amateur whose address
they used.

No, I didn't. WA8JOC provided it.

Typical Extra attitude.

I think so. We performed a service to those desiring to legally obtain
U.S. licenses. If you don't like it, I can live with that.

Just help
yourself to whatever you want, pass some around to your friends.

I helped myself to nothing. I helped others to obtain that which they
desired. Neither U.S. nor Finnish laws were broken. Almost all of
those who tested have visited the U.S. at least once and have used the
licenses they obtained. Again, if it bothers you, I can live with that.

Quite true, but if you live in Germany and nip down to your local USAF
facility for a VE sesion you can get a US licence, all legal and above
board.

There's an obvious solution. If someone takes a VE test overseas and has no
US address, they ought to be given a sequentially issued call in one of the
less populous FCC districts, say the 1st district.

Or they should be told to buzz off. Why should any U.S. license be
issued to someone in a foreign country that has no intention of using
it in the U.S. ?

And with the CEPT stuff, there's even more reason not to issue U.S.
licenses in many countries.
