In reviewing the FCC regulations recently, I ran across the following
question:

	97.403 (a) Definition of Space Operation.
	Space-to-earth and space-to-space, Amateur Radio communication
	from a station which is beyond, is intended to go beyond, or
	has been beyond the major portion of the earth's atmosphere.

	97.407 Eligibility for space operation.
	Amateur Radio stations licensed to Amateur Extra Class operators
	are eligible for space operation (see 97.403(a)).  The station
	licensee may permit any Amateur Radio operator to be the control
	operator, subject to the privileges of the control operator's
	class of license (see 97.7).

My 1983 Callbook lists W5LFL as an Advanced Class licensee.  Did Owen
get a waver of 97.407 from the FCC, or am I missing something here?
