The guy transmitted on frequencies his license does not permit. What is it that you don't understand about this?

I am disturbed by posts that refer to "Sean's ruling" or words to that effect. Unless things have changed, the ARRL assistant communications manager for contests finds problems and submits them to a committee of HQ employees who supposedly know something about contesting and rules. The committee makes a decision; it's not unilateral. 

>"But the latter can be 'loaned' to the contest operator, while the former cannot."

"Loan" is a noun. Lend is a verb. The correct word is "lent."
