Yes, it would be interesting to know, Lowell. I think the Europeans see
ham radio on an aircraft as a possible danger, if not to the aircraft's
radio itself, to the surrounding transmitters in the vicinity of an
airport.
But there are more to that, in Europe, a ham can't further packet radio
to the internet. Well ... he can, but then manually. But he can't write
say, a program, that does it automatically. That's because, as opposed
to American hams, one cannot broadcast on behalf of someone else. The
idea here is to make sure ham is a hobby and can't be used
professionally. In the US, it is different, probably because, at the
birth of radio, hams and broadcasters were the same breed.
Now, if I was to fly my Kitfox, as a passenger, having a radio and my
keyer, and sending on the 20 meters band, no one will notice or
complain. But since I can't send a QSL card stating LA0HA/AM, the fun
is not the same.
Cheers,
Michel

while we're off topic
- I wonder why the US does not refer to wave lengths in yards?
... 20 meter = 21.8722659667754...............
There's the reason!
