Bob, I found the problem where we are not understanding each other.
Mark, I apologize for not making this clear enough.
No worries friend, you can buy me a beer at the next Hamvention. Matt's
posts compelled me to review FCC Part 97 and CEPT TR 61-01. My
conclusion ("I am not a lawyer") - these documents directly contradict
the FCC Public Notice I was citing on the ARRL web site. No wonder
there was confusion. That is all there is to it. I was quoting the
Public Notice, you say the FCC tells you something different than their
Public Notice.
Glad that's settled. We're all human.
I hope you will read on: I know there are other opinions about
citizenship requirements, opinions done by people smarter than me,
opinions cited by ARRL Brass in QST in the past, that call your position
into question. However, that is out of my purview. I feel I have said
what I should, and I understand we may disagree. Braco asked "what can
we change to make it legal?" and I suggest it is not hard: If Matt had
used the call FS/IZ3EYZ we would not be having this conversation.
Thanks again for your note,
73 - Mark N5OT
