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... -- Tom. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_20...7cfr80.165.pdf 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. |
