I'm not going to debate the point, and I doubt if fcc really cares as 
long as you are there.  I repeat what I said in a previous note.  Way 
back when we ran phone patches the question came up as we sometimes left 
the station on vox so technicly we weren't keying the transmitterand we 
were told at that time it was o.k. as we were sitting there and 
incontrol of the station.
