<font color='black' size='5' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="5">A situation was also described asking if a club member who did not have HF privileges could operate the K4RY station IF there was an operator in the room with an HF-capable licensee. </font>

</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The answer is a generally, but qualified yes. Just as an operator with a HF capable license must identify with both the K4RY and his or her own callsign, a technician licensee can operate K4RY as long as s/he uses the K4RY callsign <b>and</b> the <i>control operators</i> callsign. The person using the radio can even be an unlicensed person. The control operator however, <b><i>must</i></b>, well, be <i>in control</i> of the transmitter, and of course insure it is operated within his or her privileges. Being in the 411 Broun shack certainly qualifies for having positive control of the transmitter. </div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">What's the qualification? Domestic versus international contacts. Not all countries allow communications between <u>unlicensed</u> individuals. A listing of countries that unlicensed persons CAN talk with can be found at:</div>

<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="5">As a final option, as far as I know, if operator wants to use his or her own callsign when operating the station in Broun, they can certainly do that. "K4RY" is a <i>station</i> license, not an <i>operator</i> license, and it is somewhat different from your personal license which is <i>both</i> a station <i>and</i> an operator license. Certainly, we try to help promote Auburn University by using the Club station callsign when we operate there, but it is not mandatory. </font></div>
