Joe,
Spoken just like a real attorney, hi. Very well spoken.
Remote base is used in comm, but not sure in FCC rules. Not in Part 97,
but maybe in 95 or 90 where "remoted" bases are used widely. So it
might have a FCC definition somewhere.
However, any attorney will tell you certain words do have meaning in
law. This is why one most often wants an attorney to write contracts.
One could put in words that mean to us the same thing, but in law could
mean different things. Most words in law have a law defining what they
mean. Not all.
An we are told we can defend ourselves in a court. Surrrre.

Joe,
"Semantics" implies the distinctions are trivial. If an obsolete term
is in common usage, it's a valid topic here, whether aromatic or not.
When hams communicate with the FCC or try to interpret the regs with
undefined or incorrect vocabulary, misunderstandings arise.
("Remote base" comes to mind.)

A licensee is a person who is authorized to do something.
A trustee is a person *entrusted* with something.
(That's the legal definition of a trustee)
That something could be a repeater or a coordination or a license, or
any combination of these. In the case of my repeaters, I'm trustee of
all three - the license, the repeater, and the coordination.
So, a single person could be both a licensee and a trustee. Certainly
that person is the trustee for their personal license.
It doesn't have to be an FCC definition - it's a legal definition and
one which the FCC must honor unless they want to define it
differently
in their rules. In the absense of any FCC definition, they are bound
by
the legal definition.
This is like arguing that a licensee isn't an entity since the FCC
has
no definition of an entity.
Now, let's please end the discussion on semantics. The decaying horse
is
really beginning to smell.

Ron, not in any legal sense. You're the licensee. If, by
"trustee," you mean the guy into whose care the club "entrusts" the
repeater, that's OK, but not an FCC definition.
