You'll note the quote in Eric's message is not in my post. I did remove it by editing after hitting the send key. It was Operator License and not station license that was not needed.

Using a non type rated radio is breaking a rule, so is motoring on a large sail boat without showing the proper day shape. So is motoring while showing the tri-color at the mast, so is etc.

Every one I know, with the possible exceptions of Bill and Eric breaks some rule in a minor way on a regular basis. I say again, I am properly licensed in both SSB and HAM. It is possible to have both, one does not need to choose. One can buy a used HAM capable SSB about as easily as a used HAM rig.

I yield the moral high ground to those without sin.
