I hold a K4 and a HS call sign, and depending on local interpretation of my
permit papers also in 9N, A5, VU, and V2.
Theoretically, I could use remotes in any of those places where allowed and
after all call signs used RF to contact each other, all under my control,
it appears I could get all bands/all modes on those entities...... by me
working me.
True?
