A very interesting interpretation of the FCC regs by a former FCC official. Whether a liability lawyer would agree with him is debatable in my opinion. Just like a bartender can be liable for serving drinks to an obviously drunk person who then goes off and kills someone in a driving accident, so would station owners who stand by and hear of illegal use of their equipment and "relinquished" station license on a repeat basis. In my opinion.
I have no issue with "Remote Ham Radio" as a company nor the technology use for the purposes. Unlike others, my DXCC is not affected by shortcuts others take to achieve it. I know what I do for mine and sleep well at night. However - I don't believe that the liability of allowing internet users to use our stations is "settled law". And some people may be in for a surprise. And before Lou says I called it illegal, Ididn't. I said the LIABILITY of your equipment being repeatedly used to break the law has NOT been settled in my opinion. The test case will certainly not be my station. Be careful if its yours.
