[TowerTalk] Remote Ham Radio

[Gene Smar]

TT:

     When a local posting on this showed up here a few months ago, I 
protested that this service can't be legal.  See below, especially 
97.113(a)(2) and (3):

"Sec. 97.113 Prohibited transmissions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"(a) No amateur station shall transmit:
"(1) Communications specifically prohibited elsewhere in this part;

"(2) Communications for hire or for material compensation, direct or 
indirect, paid or promised, except as otherwise provided in these rules;

"(3) Communications in which the station licensee or control operator has a 
pecuniary interest, including communications on behalf of an employer, with 
the following exceptions: ...."

     The exceptions are concerned with for-sale adverts on the air if this 
isn't the operator's line of work and a few others.

     IMHO, the station licensee leasing time on his super station for this 
purpose is in violation of this Section of the Rules.  But that's just me.
