If he buys a ham radio, and transmits on the air with no license,  he'll
eventually get caught and believe me, the fines of late are nothing to laugh
at. I *never* let anyone transmit form my station who doesn't have a license
unless it's an event where it's permicable, or once looking for directions I
let my father get on, because I knew he'd never get me in trouble. Beyond
that though, I hardly even let anyone see my station, it's in my bedroom and
the door is always shut, if I go away I lock it, all most people see is the
HT's and I never let anyone even touch them. I just don't know anyone I
trust that much to put them on the air.  9/11 though, I did use my phone
patch on my HF stuff, but there again, that was a situation where I felt it
was a good idea, it's sat there since.
