美国的法规和我们不大一样的。小孩可以合法地在没有执照的情况下使用父母的业余电台进行通联,这在当地法规中叫第三方通信。ARRL的Kids Day,与国际空间站的ARISS,童子军中的业余电台等都是基于该项法规进行操作的。
Messages may be transmitted on behalf of unlicensed individuals, at the discretion of the amateur station licensee. These messages are referred to as third party communications. The FCCs rules permit an amateur station to transmit messages for a third party to any other amateur station within the jurisdiction of the United States. Amateur stations in the United States may transmit third party communications to amateur stations outside the United States under certain circumstances.
