[WARC] EComm is Changing

[Clare Jarvis]

Len,

As I recall if you are using another's station and you have permission, you use the station callsign.   If the station owner does not 
grant permission to use their callsign then you use your own.   The callsign you use determines what privledges you have.

If you are using my station but I do not give you permission to use my callsign then your operation of my station is governed by the 
privledges of your callsign.  If I give you permission to use my callsign, then if I am at the control position you may use my 
privledges and if I am missing then you must use your privledges because you are now the control operator.


So a tech running the W0NE station at GRSF can trasnit at 14.020 CW if a control operator with extra privledges were present
but cannot operate there without a control operator with extra privledges.

Now lets call the tech ke0abc.   ke0abc cannot transmit at 14.020 CW using that callsign period.   It does not matter whether there 
is an extra control operator or not.    The key is at an Offical Observer (OO)  can hear a callsign, look up that callsign in the 
database and know whether the operator is apparently operating within their privledges.

If you use ke0abc and it says in the database tech, then you must be in the tech band segments.   

So the key thing you must ask before using someone elses' equipment is 
1.  Can I use your radio?
2.  Can I use my callsign?

If you know that then you know what you can do with that radio.
