Hi All If you don't have a Extra class license, can you 'borrow' an Extra class call, say for WPX? 73 Tom W7WHY -- Tom - As you know from the FCC's Part 97 rules, which cover the Amateur Radio Servic
Let me ask the same question possibly a different way and provide the answer I was previously given. If I am a tech or general class operator and I am operating on a team such as our clubs' team like
Yes, if (and only if) an extra-class licensed control operator is also present. Yes, with the same stipulation as above. ~Iain / N6ML _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailin

Perhaps, a bit too succinct. Yes, if you were a guest op at a multi-op at a superstition where there are higher class licenses present who would serve as control operator. If you wanted to enter as a
Only if YOU and or, a control op is ther that HAS the extra class ticket. A "Superstation" has NO privleges at all. It is the control OP that determines what can eminate from that station. A good exa
Now, as a slightly different set of seneraios. what happens as you being single OP, as an extra class holder, goes, to a super station that the trustee of the station is ONLY a general. and you are t
Okay, perhaps I answered too succinctly. Yes, if you were one of the guest ops at a multi-op from a superstition where higher class licenses are present (and awake) to serve as the control operator.
I guess that brings up an interesting question regarding Field Day. If you are entering in, for instance, the 5A category using a callsign issued to an Extra-class station and there is one Extra clas
To state this more specifically, in terms of part 97... * 97.7 states that there must be a control operator whenever a station is transmitting * 97.109(b) states that when a station is being locally
Part 97 is fairly clear about this! http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/octqtr/47cfr97.105.htm Sec. 97.105 Control operator duties. (a) The control operator must ensure the immediate proper operat
Seems fairly unlikely, but, again, it's the privileges of the control operator that count. Now, if you wanted to use the callsign of the station (as opposed to your own), you'd have to identify with

For that matter, who says a Novice can't have a superstation of his own? ;-) 73, de Hans, K0HB http://k0hb.spaces.live.com/ Search my log at http://dx.qsl.net/cgi-bin/logform.cgi?k0hb ______________
