Well if you're operating remotely from outside the US, it doesn't - which
is a good part of the point here. The CEPT regulation is written such that
it covers the physical presence of a foreign-licensed operator in the US.
I've seen (but can't immediately turn up) a quote from an FCC official
confirming that interpretation, and that remote operation of a US station
from overseas using the CEPT privileges isn't permitted.
That's one reason why remotehamradio.com insist on every operator having a
US license. I'm getting mine later this year, with a bit of luck :-)
