j No station shall transmit messages for a third party to any station within the jurisdiction of any foreign government whose administration has not made such an arrangement. This prohibition does not apply to a message for any third party who is eligible to be a control operator of the station. Usually if the foreign government owns the phone company there, they say that you can't do it. That reason has passed into history, because many if not most of the governmental "PTTs" have become either quasi- or real private sector entities in the last decade or so. Mostly now it's either "state security" or, more likely, inertia on the part of the foreign Administration. Suprizingly many of the communist dictatorships do allow 3rd party comms. But the hams in such would probably be taken out back and shot if they did pass a message to a 3rd party saying "Communism sucks". I passed the first "third party" message from Israel to the US right after the "letter of agreement" was signed, regarding asking my then-father-in-law to send me a dummy load for my HF rig . My boss questioned me the next day as to whether I was using the ham bands to pass business messages..... the monitoring station for the Shin Bet ("homeland security service") was about 2 km from our apartment and they always used my signals to calibrate their monitoring equipment, the chief tech being a good friend of mine!! -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane |
