The chapter and verse is 47 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 15. I
highly doubt you could retransmit another radio service onto there,
though.

Everything you say is legal under Part 15 of the FCC rules, but
the power limits are such that the range is probably 100 yards
or less.

These are legal, but there are draconian restrictions on power and
antenna. Usually used as a children's toy ("Hear yourself on the
radio!"), the signal you wind up radiating wouldn't fill a condo
building, never mind a valley. If you're still interested, details
are as close as your local CFR-equipped library - they're in (Ch. 47
CFR) Part 15, in the same section that authorizes LOWFing (160-190
kHz).

I'll be traveling to Mexico next month and was wondering if it's possible
to get a reciprocal amateur radio license these days. If so, what
is the procedure?
Thanks,

Subject : Station Licenses
OK, my understanding of this whole thing:
You get a station license and an operator license. They are both on the
same piece of paper. However, no station location (fixed) is required on
the 610. So you don't have a station location, but still have a station
license, which is the same document as the operator license.
As for "primary" privileges:
I'll take a guess...
Way back a long time ago ...
You could have primary and secondary stations, in different locations, I
suppose, with different call letters on both. However, when (I suppose)
the FCC decided that you didn't have to change your call if you moved or
re-located or whatever, they did away with this "secondary" station
license. So, one Amateur, one station. I suppose that secondary licenses
were for commuting types or folks with summer homes (or I guess, winter
homes), or the like. I'm not sure. At any rate, my guess is the "primary"
is a holdover from that.
Any corrections/additions? I'm only guessing.
