Well, If I come to the USA and operate someone's station with the
licence owner sitting in the chair next to me and supervising my
operation I still do not need "something in writing" to prove my
operation was legitimate. It's the licence holder responsibilities,
not mine.
Well, my information may be stale, but it was my impression that if your [DX]
country does not
have a reciprocal licensing agreement here (and maybe that you have received
permission to
operate "here"), that the "guest op" (whether a ham or not) may only work other
stations
with whom the USA has a 3rd party agreement (if the control op is
present)...which is not
all that many countries....certainly not enough to blindly operate a "DX
contest."
Does anyone know if this has changed?
Anyhow your point about "who is responsible" it is may be correct. But either
way, the
contest operation would not be legitimate if you worked any DX stations that do
not have
a 3rd party agreement with the USA (unless, of course, my information is indeed
stale, and
therefore no longer valid).
