Andre,

Did you mean to say "Part 5" licenses below?

Hello Stewart,
yes the FCC can, and does grant "Part 15" licenses. In fact AMRAD has 
held such a license to transmit on 136 kHz for several years, and we 
have --off and on-- run a beacon (WA2XTF) on that frequency for at least 
three years. It was heard regularly in London (the Ontario, Canada variety).
The problem is that, although we are all licenses amateurs, when we do 
operate under a Part 15 license, we are forbidden from communicating 
with other amateurs. Hence we can beacon, but not exchange messages with 
other hams.

Catch 22   :-(

André
