Once you get your Ham licence, you can be the "control operator" for your group when you are out with them. That is if you trust your unlicensed buddies to behave on the air, once you give the basic rules of what they can not do on the air. You would be responsible for their on the air behavior. When you are studying for your license look further into FCC control operator rules. It is a legal way for unlicensed folks to be on the air, it is done that way at all the Ham clubs Field Days.I could probably pass it right now. I've done alot with rf when I worked out at Yuma proving ground but will need a refresher. It's been awhile. If there's any electronics in the test, I won't be worried about that.
so can some someone with the tech license be a control operator or do they have to have a higher level license? also, I got my book in a couple days ago and was thumbing through it and a lot of this stuff, from what I seen so far, I learned in my electronics school in camp Lejeune while I was in the marines. i forgot a lot of it! lol I'm sure it will come back to me...Once you get your Ham licence, you can be the "control operator" for your group when you are out with them.

But doesn't that simply mean you can let someone transmit from your radio (on frequencies that are available to your license level, e.g. 2m and 70cm for tech) while you are standing by to observe? I don't think it means unlicensed folks can use their own radio while you use yours on the same frequency...With a Tech License you can be a control operator for others within the scope of a Tech License.
