For bizarre loophole and the exploitation thereof have a word with the
thousands of Class B twats - masonman included - who took out a
kiddies licence (like you) to get on HF.

that can't be denied .......

Steve's admitted to having been a pirate himself in bygone years, >>what's his grievance?

I used 11m when I was a teenager, but never masqueraded as a fully licensed >>> amateur on the amateur spectrum.

Maybe not 'fully-licensed', but what about 'partially-licensed' - such as FL or IL?

I've never masqueraded as a FL or IL holder either. For one, they didn't exist when I used 11m (1993/94) and for two, I never transmitted on the amateur bands until I was authorised to do so.

shocking
