Don't worry even the guys on the personal radio website can't figure this out. No one seems to agree on it.
But it seems like as long as I don't have it ID when no one is on it then no one here will have a realy issue with it. Oh wait that was another discussion :) Anyway. There are plenty of them out there that have been running for quite some time so if the FCC really didn't want them they would either be shutting them down or putting something in the rules that says you can't do it. The only one I have ever heard being shut down was on FRS and they are unlicensed.
