I believe some of our dealers do insist on proof of license. However, all one has to do is look at listings on eBay and other auction / used equipment sites for the general public to see how futile that is. One can get ham transceivers “jiggered” to operate on 27 MHz, with amplifiers up to 5 or 10 kW thrown in! Decades of zero enforcement —-> lawlessness. Bud, W2RU On Jan 17, 2021, at 3:46 PM, Arthur I.

How about requiring evidence of a license before sale? My guess is that this isn't possible, but fun to dream. 73, Art K0AIZ Arthur I. Zygielbaum, K0AIZ ARRL Midwest Division Director
