It's been awhile since I took my tests but I seem to remember
studying some stuff about third party traffic. If I recall
correctly, it goes something like this: You can transmit
third party traffic between stations in countries that allow
third party traffic, provided you are "in control" of the
transmitting station, and are to be held liable for all info
that is transmitted. I don't have the exact words at hand,
sorry.
This means I could put my five year old daughter on my radio
and have her talk with her grandmother through another ham
on the other end. Provided I am able to stop the trans-
mission if anything illegal is transmitted or about to be
transmitted, there is nothing wrong with this, even though
neither my daughter nor her grandmother are licensed to use
amateur radio.
The only possible dangers here are:
1. Packet radio may enter countries where third party
traffic is not allowed, thus violating the law in
question, and
2. If the CB operators decide to act in violation of
amateur radio laws in their messages, the stations
that relay it along its path (every one of them) are
each individualy liable for re-transmitting that
violation. (As would be the case if a licensed ham
decided to act in violation, putting illegal material
out onto the packet network)
Am I mistaken? 73 de Derrick / KD7FTR
