[WARC] EComm is Changing

[Len Litvan]

Good points, Clare.

I have a question regarding use of amateur equipment located at places 
like the EOC or Winona Health. The question has to do with definitions 
of station license and the requirements to hold a station license. Below 
is some selected wording from Part 97 pertaining to station license. The 
operator license grant is in another section and not too much of an 
issue relating to my question.

When amateurs operate at these locations, which call sign ought to me 
used, the station call sign (who has physical control of the station 
apparatus), operator call sign, or club station call sign? According to 
the wording in Part 97....

73,
Len

§ 97.5 Station license required.
(a) The station apparatus must be
under the physical control of a person
named in an amateur station license
grant on the ULS consolidated license
database or a person authorized for
alien reciprocal operation by § 97.107 of
this part, before the station may transmit
on any amateur service frequency
from any place that is:
(1) Within 50 km of the Earth’s surface...

(b) The types of station license
grants are:
(1) An operator/primary station license
grant. One, but only one, operator/
primary station license grant may
be held by any one person. The primary
station license is granted together with
the amateur operator license. Except
for a representative of a foreign government,
any person who qualifies by
examination is eligible to apply for an
operator/primary station license grant.
(2) A club station license grant. A
club station license grant may be held
only by the person who is the license
trustee designated by an officer of the
club. The trustee must be a person who
holds an Amateur Extra, Advanced,
General, Technician Plus, or Technician
operator license grant. The club
must be composed of at least four persons
and must have a name, a document
of organization, management,
and a primary purpose devoted to amateur
service activities consistent with
this part.
(3) A military recreation station....
