Haven't read the rules in detail (at work on break and not enough time!),
but wouldn't there be some responsibility for the operator of the remote
station (which is a transmitter here in the U.S. operating under FCC rules)
to put in place some type of controls to ensure that people using his
transmitter are doing so in accordance with Part 97? As in ensuring
foreign hams, and others, using his station are identifying correctly?
Sounds pretty similar to repeater operation where the repeater licensee is
responsible for what happens on his repeater. Control Operators are often
(well, maybe sometimes?) assigned to monitor repeater transmissions for
rules violations and take action to either correct the violators or shut
down the transmitter.
If an effective mechanism could be found to do that it would help cut down
on both suspected pirates and cheating. It would also make Randy and
company's job a bit easier.
