     She can still communicate via "Third Party Traffic", as long as a   
   licensed ham radio operator is at the control point, monitoring and   
   supervising her operation.   
      
     I've done that at times, with "This is WX1DER, with Third Party   
   Traffic", then I hand the mic to the unlicensed individual. When they   
   are done, they hand the mic back to me, saying "That concludes Third   
   Party Traffic. This is WX1DER".   
      
     WX1DER is the current callsign (and a keeper). I was originally N5VLZ   
   from August, 1991, to June, 2009. Then, I got the vanity callsign of   
   AE5WX in June, 2009...having it until I got the vanity callsign of   
   WX1DER just after Christmas, 2012.
