     Very interesting question.

     Just as a casual guess: IMO, assuming that you are using UHF/VHF RF 
to connect to/from your node, that would be "operating" wherever your HT 
(or whatever) and/or node is located, and therefore subject to those 
rules in that location.

     However, if you are using a radio-less connection (no RF) to/from 
your node, you are only using a network connection to some remote 
location ... no local RF rules (simply using VOIP)?

     What does this mean for folks who connect thru a "foreign country" 
node? I would think that the foreign rules control he foreign node 
operation and therefore up to that "local" (foreign) node "operator" to 
control.

     Thanks from bringing this up!
