I would not be a bit surprised to see that done *if* the FCC doesn't decide your Amateur License is being used for business purposes.
Since US Hams are allowed to operate any equipment they choose at any location within the jurisdiction of the FCC, it would seem proper for them to use their own call signs when using such a service. That is, the "assigned" call mentioned in Part 97.119 (a) refers to the person in control of the transmitter, not the person who owns it. After all, if I took a trip and had someone house-sit for me who was a Ham, it would not be proper for him to use my call if he operated the station at my home. Instead, it would be just the same as if he had brought his own equipment and erected his own antenna. I believe my responsibility would be to ensure he was licensed before granting access to my station equipment. The idea might produce yet another round of questions and rule-making. And that keeps the lawyers busy, Hi! 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Gosh...so many guys in various "markets" want access to a remote station! Wonder if I could sell access time? I have a pretty nice station setup in NJ and I'm only QRV during some contests (just the "big" ones). Otherwise, the rigs/station sits idle. When I was in H.S. (don't ask), we used to pay a lot of money for "tie line time" to an IBM computer somewhere. Worked then...why not now? Sounds like this could be mutually beneficial! Of course, not sure how you would my P3 remotely...any suggestions?
