I'm a licensed ham with a friend who is interested in joining the hobby. I want to let him try out my equipment and get a feel for the hobby before he invests any time or money in it, to see if he is truly interested.
If I understand the rules correctly, he can operate my equipment if I am present, correct? And if he is allowed to use my radio under my supervision, do I have to "sign him on/off" the air? How does he identify himself: simply with my callsign, or do I say "KD2DAX, I have a unlicensed person that will now operate under my supervision..."
I'm sure this sounds very juvenile, but I've been wondering for a while and I'm still new to all this.
Thanks in advance.
