Hi Eddy,
You certainly can. However, you may not. I suspect the Japanese
regulatory agency will have some say in how you operate in Japan and
what you may use for a callsign. Your real question might be "will
dishonest hams do this?" Probably. But where are you going to find any
dishonest people (hams or not)? <evil grin>

Hi Guys,
My appreciation of computers in the Ham shack, I'm afraid, is limited to placing
the contest QSOs that I might make into Cabrillo format , post-contest, for benefit
of to-day's contest sponsors---and I was dragged, kicking & screaming all the
way, into that stage, several years ago...!
I don't know why, but my "...spidey senses" always go on "high alert" whenever
radio & computers are mentioned in the same subject.
No doubt that accounts for my ignorance as to to-day's Amateur scene...so I have an ignorant
question, from an otherwise ignorant Ham: somebody please bear with me, & kindly give me
the condensed "Coles Notes" version in your reply...
Specifically, suppose I want to work the (imaginary, of course) upcoming DX-pedition to North
Korea that is being mounted as a distraction to basketball, by Dennis Rodman & a few of
his well-heeled Ham friends. I would dearly LOVE to log the operation on 160-meters CW---but
I understand that their topband aerial will be limited to a very simple random 130' length of
wire, thrown out a hotel upper storey window. Question: can I link myself via the internet to
some remote "...rent-a-station" in, say, nearby Japan, and use that station to QSO
them, all the while using my callsign of VE3CUI...?
Like I said earlier, it's an ignorant question, from an ignorant Ham---but I
would like to know the answer, just the same...!
Many thanks, &
~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ
