Hello Andrew and all,
In a word, WRONG. Actually on TWO counts wrong.
Consider INTENT. If intended for radio transmission it's considered a
radio transmission regardless of HOW it gets on the air. If the one who
transmits it directly on the air, that person/station is solely
responsible. If it is transmitted via the Internet and INTENDED for radio
transmission, BOTH the originator and the one who puts it on the air are
responsible. If the originator is not licensed he is not responsible to
the licencing agency (in your case the RA) but responsible to some other
government agency nonetheless. If the originator licensed, he then is
responsible to the licencing agency REGARDLESS of how he transmits the
message. CLEAR?
Yhe exception is when the originator DOED NOT INTEND radio transmission.
Then the one(s) who DO intend radio retransmission are responsible to the
licensing agency.
You see? Although a pure land line BBS with no radio ports can't transmit
the message over the air, it is INTENDED for radio transmission and the
sysop responsible to the licensing agency. FYI, those GB7 stations are
licensed by the RA and the license holder is the RSGB.
SHEESH! Now how did that escape the Brits when this Yank knows all about
it? SOMEBODY isn't doing thier homework...
