The rules say that communication can only take place between licensees in the Experimental service, but upon application, the FCC can authorize communication with other services. The trick is that they don't write it in your license. It appears that if you mention it in the text of your proposal, and they don't shoot it down, you've got it. Warren did that, and so did Laurence, as I recall. Being a darned fool, I didn't! Actually, I'm in the process of trying to correct that...we'll see what happens. Anyway, I believe that 2-way communication should be legal between the VE's and the Part 5-ers who requested the ability to communicate with amateurs in countries that permit use of the band. John A.
