: So it appears that, in *some* cases (where a renewal
: application was previously filed), a ham with an expired
: license may be able to operate legally in the grace
: period.

After all the indignant and self-righteous heat you've applied to LenOver on
this issue, it appears you were equally ignorant of the content of Part
97.

97.21(a)(3)(ii) puts it this way:

"When the application has been received by the FCC
on or before the license expiration date, the license
operating authority is continued until the final disposition
of the application."

Been there in the rules for decades, and is commonly known among most people
who are even slightly conversant with Part 97.

Didn't you catch on to this when KV4FZ stayed on the air for years after
expiration while his renewal was being litigated?

Of course, Herb being an accomplished Morse operator, you'd probably cut him
more slack than you cut for LenOver (not that either deserves any).
