OT: K7NEE/8R1 Dan (Guyana) on 30m

[Mike Markowski]

In a bit of a pile up, I worked Dan K7NEE/8R1 on 30m yesterday and was
excited because he said he was on a geology expedition in the jungle in
Guyana, was qrp using homemade straight key, and home qth near Las
Vegas.  However, I later found K7NEE is unassigned.  I copied a few
calls I've seen here on the Elecraft list, so I wonder if anyone knows
the scoop with this?  Hopefully I miscopied his call is all, but I
emailed another op who copied the same as me.

Tnx for any info!

Even if he has applied for K7NEE as a vanity call he's not
entitled to use the call until the FCC issues it.  Looking
at the FCC database - "Daniel Nezgoda" is a Technician Plus
who has applied for the vanity call N7EAA (not K7NEE).  

This operation looks bogus on so many levels (Tech Plus on
30 meters, illegal call, etc.).  I don't know if it is a
violation for the FCC to use an improper call when portable
outside the US but I'd think the authorities in 8R1 would
want to know that this guy isn't who/what he say he is.

73,

IANAL/IMHO:

Technically, FCC has no jurisdiction in 8R1.

However, FCC does have the authority to consider "character" issues when
issuing/renewing licenses.

Everyone who applies for a license is assumed by FCC to be of good-enough
character to be issued the license if they meet the other requirements.

However, if they prove by their actions that they cannot follow the law,
particularly
if the violations are serious and intentional, their license may be in
jeopardy.

And it doesn't have to be an amateur radio violation. Some hams have lost
their licenses for things like freebanding because those things are clear
violations of the Communications Act. A felony of any kind can result in loss of all
FCC licenses, too.

This doesn't mean every ham who gets a speeding ticket has to worry about
losing
their amateur radio license. But a ham who willfully violates 8R1's radio
laws by, say, using a bogus call, may give FCC reason to be concerned about that
ham's ability to follow Part 97.

FCC doesn't always go after the licensee right away, either. Sometimes they
wait until the licensee tries to renew the license.

Again, all IMHO and IANAL.

73 de Jim, N2EY

My feelings exactly.  That is a bogus operation, even if the operator thinks
it's not.
