Ah yes, the FAA requires us to have a station license if we are in
Canada
where the FAA has no authority. Another fine example of our government
in
action.

Actually there is a valid reason for this. Since the Canadian counterpart
to
the FAA requires a license, we must also require our citizens flying
through
canada to have one. You are under the jurisdiction of Canada if you get
caught without a license. The FCC is helping you out.


And as I understand it the license costs $50 but the fine in Canada for not
having a license is $25. I think the FCC is helping itself out.
