Just out of curiosity, is there a specific citation for the "an FCC 
licensee...MUST use his or her FCC license" bit?

I wouldn't be surprised if some visitors who get US tickets might not be aware 
of that rule.

More specifically, with regard to authorization, YO is part of the CEPT 
agreement, so unless the YO operator is a U.S. citizen or U.S. licensee 
(whether or not a citizen), the operation is permitted under Part 97 of the 
FCC's Rules.  (A U.S. Citizen MUST have a U.S. FCC-issued license and is 
limited to the terms thereof; an FCC licensee, whether or not a U.S.
citizen, MUST use his or her FCC license and also  is limited to the privileges 
thereof.  So, for example, a Romanian citizen with a U.S.
general class license at all times is limited to operating with general class 
privileges; he or she CANNOT operate using their YO license and CEPT to gain 
extra privileges; whereas a Romanian citizen and licensee without a U.S. 
license can operate with extra class privileges. A U.S. citizen, such as the 
mayor of London (were he interested in amateur radio), can NEVER operate a U.S. 
station with anything but a U.S. license, whether remote or otherwise.
