Re: LF: Are the new VE stations able to qso with other amature stations ??

Blimey...  I've been exposed as a PIRATE! Polly, me parrot, (Newfoundland
Puffin) is concerned I might be disciplined a with keel hauling or the
cat-o-nine-tails! Shiver me timbers!

For those who have worked VX9MRC and are losing sleep for fear of being 
asked to walk the plank by their licensing authority, please take comfort in
the following:

The General Radio Regulations defina a radio station as "a place wherein 
radio apparatus is located." VO1NA is duly "licensed" in Canada and is the 
radio station wherein is located the radiotelegraphic apparatus of 
VX9MRC, thanks to the kind efforts of the Marconi Radio Club of 
Newfoundland.
The regulations state "No operator of an amateur station shall communicate
with radio stations other than stations licensed in the amateur service"

Therefore, any station that communicates with VX9MRC is communicating with 
a station licensed in the amateur serivce and does so accordance with 
the regulations.
Alas, ye olde PIRATE who can evidently lob 10^30 big (600m) photons per
second across the brine pond is but an amateur in legal matters.

73  Arrh me Hearties!!!
