Bzzzt, Wrong again, would you like to try for what is behind Door #3????

Not even a Licensed Operator, can operate a Marine HF Radio that does NOT
have a valid Station License posted, legally...... AND a non-licensed
user "May" speak into the Microphone of a GMDSS Radio, HOWEVER, that
does NOT constitute being the "Operator", or, Operating the Station. The
Operator of a GMDSS Radio is REQUIRED to be Licensed as a GMDSS
Operator......
