It has always been "my understanding" that in a "true emergency", you can
use any form of radio communications, without a license. However, not too long ago, an amateur radio operator, involved at the scene of a very serious life, or death, situation, used his modified HT, to summons help from the local police. Later, they tried to do everything short of executing him for his actions! Go figure? Bill Crocker "Markeau" wrote in message ... "Frank Dresser" wrote in message You need a license if you want to transmit legally. Would the FCC prosecute someone for using a ham rig without a license if there were no other way to communicate that someone was injured or other "emergency" help was needed? Seems like a mobile ham rig would be a nice backup in such cases. |
