[ARRL-ODV:8887] a "qoute" placed on a local e-mail reflector

This just does not sound right to me.........can someone get a clarification? What would be the difference of talking on a 2 meter repeater, and talking HF. We are still talking to different countries. Living so close to Mexico, gives us opportunities to talk with our southern neighbors all the time. My opinion would be that as long as both the operators are operating within their license class, they would be legal........... Am I missing something here? The following was sent to me by one of our local folks here in San Diego. Tuck ****************************************************************************** I agree with "A Legal Ham." It is not legal to transmit into a U.S. repeater from another country unless the station is either (a) a licensee of that country or (b) a licensee of the U.S. holding a VALID operating permit issued by the foreign government from which the transmission originates. Riley Hollingsworth USA - Wednesday, June 11, 2003 at 14:24:52 (MDT) According to part 97, an amateur station must be operated only within the jurisdiction of the FCC, unless an operating permit has been issued by a foriegn government where the station is transmitting from. While monitoring the ******* on June 10, 2003, an operator identitying himself as ***** was heard transmitting from within the country of Mexico. Since the aforementioned station does not posses a valid operating permit issued by the Mexican govenment, It is not a legally authorized station, by the operator's own admission on the air. It would be prudent to refrain from conversing with a non authorized station, as such activity is prohibited by FCC rules. In addition, The trustee of a repeater who allows unauthorized stations to make use of the repeater might find himself subjected to sanctions by the FCC. Just a word of caution.

Jim I do hope your wife is ok......... However, I also missed the testimony. For some reason they do not let me bring internet access on the train.

Actually, Derek Riker, John Chwat and I are hoping that this might lead to attaching HR 713 to some other pending legislation this term, which could very easily happen, given the "love-in" that Jim had with both Walden and Bilirakis.

[ARRL-ODV:8879] Field Organization Database
by Wilson, Mark K1RO 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

Over the past few weeks, we have made a concerted effort to clean up lingering problems in the Field Organization appointee database. Although the most noticeable and annoying problem was incorrect counties, we also identified and corrected Silent Keys with open appointments, duplicate appointment records, out-of-date phone numbers and email addresses, and other problems. The last of the updates were made today and will be reflected in the Web presentation after the nightly update runs. Steve Ewald plans to let the SMs know tomorrow that we've completed cleaning up the items that we can identify and invite them to review the appointments and let us know of any additional updates. Going forward, we have identified some tools and procedures that will make it easier to keep the database clean. Also, we have some ideas for a new monthly Section appointee report that will make it easier for the SMs to locate and review the appointment records have changed since the last update, and spot those appointees whose membership has lapsed. 73, Mark K1RO
