Yes! It’s totally legal. My 7 year old who is studying for her Tech license has made contacts on FM birds as well as linears such as AO-7. She either uses my call or her sister’s call and we act as control ops. Get those kiddos on the air. If you ever want to set up a sked with some YLs here, just let us know.

Greetings, Sometimes I have kids and would-be-hams watching me wide-eyed work the FM sats and I wished I could get some of them on the pass too.
So the question is, is it legal to allow them do it with me as the control operator handling the PTT ? on a not-so-busy pass, of course !
Thanks and 73, Umesh, k6vug
