Wavrider, I'll put this as nice as I can but you have no idea what you are talking about. Amateur bands are allocated by the International Telecommunications Union and are universal around the world with very small differences in a couple of HF bands. There is no such thing as " In their country it may not be illegal to talk on those freq, or their govt could care less."

Also when you said "What about the countries that the USA or in your case our neighbor to the North has no reciprocal agreement with? Do you make contact with those countries? Many countries in Africa are not even on the FCC data base,....." First off having a reciprocal agreement has nothing to do with being able to talk to them. It has to do with a foreign amateur operating when he is in the USA or vise versa. I have no idea what you mean by " Many countries in Africa are not even on the FCC data base,...." Why would the FCC have a database of foreign amateurs?

Please get the facts straight before trying to make your point.
