Yeah, I assumed the person holding the Part-97 radio would be a licensed
amateur.  I was just trying to counter-point the folks making the
*absolute* assertion that it's never legal.  I thought my example
clarified that as an ARO, I might have a legitimate use for the mode.

Hope you're having a stellar solstice.
