I'm not sure it is a good idea to bypass government authorization for activation within or outside a country's sovereign territory or area under its jurisdiction, like the EEZ.
You're probably right. But I would be in favor of something because I am annoyed at us bowing down to these kinds of regimes.
We don't think much of these places in our daily life. Why let these guys dictate to us what our awards are going to be? If they don't want us, then one way or another, screw them.
Delete them, suspend them, declare some station in Hawaii a "ham radio government in exile." It's all the same with me. Some of those are no doubt better ideas that others. I'm just tired of letting these guys tell us our business. I don't think there is another hobby that lets itself be beholden to despots in this manner.
If they don't want us, why do we want them?
