Hmmm -
?97.103 (b) seems to say that documentation
should be in the station records indicating who
is authorized to be the control operator if the
station licensee is not present. I take this to
mean that I need some sort of authorizing letter
to show the man if I am gg to operate with
another's call. That letter would be the "some sort of..." above.

Then they should update the written rules - it is still referred to in 97.5 :
"?97.5 Station license grant required.
...
(b) The types of station license grants are:
(1) ..... The primary station license is granted
together with the amateur operator license..."
With this, I am going to stop reading part 97. It hurts my brain :-)
