When I asked the ARRL, they indicated that Techs, Generals & Advanced
licensees, if there was an Extra control op you were ok to operate on
Extra class frequencies.
In Worldradio, the W3BE column would never give a straight answer ....
but I read it as saying, more or less, no that is not ok, but he was
never clear.
