Interesting. I just looked over the sailmail primer again and it is
specific. US citizens need copies of the shore station licenses plus
a ship's station license and a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's
Permit. As I recall it took them some time to get the station
licenses. I wonder if they got some kind of waiver...

80.165 direct printing telegraph (which sounds like 1935) says license is
MP. I guess MP is the MR license, now, your "MRO". The telegraph
licenses are T-3, T-2, T-1 in the old rules here.

The rules show the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's Permit as RP on
this list. From that reference point, we can assume every sailor with an
RP is in violation of 80.165 if he uses Sailmail IF FCC considers
Sailmail and Pactor "Ship Direct Printing Telegraph" from the 1935
terminology of a Teletype machine. (Model 15? I had one of those!)

FCC needs to join the 21st Century and rewrite the 1935 parts of these
rules....same as amateur radio.
