Now you've got me wondering:
1. Does that mean that one is not allowed to speak Navajo in the
amateur bands?
2. Same question, but with some synthetic language that only 2 people

3. I guess covert use of the amateur voice bands is acceptable...?
4. Other?
Just throwing out some hairs to split and some straw men to knock
down....
