Steve,
I believe that if the callsign is attached the station is announcing it
is an amateur station and therefore it is a station operating in breach
of the LCD by using a data mode.
I also believe that the only way we will ever find out for certain is
for the ACMA to investigate a complaint about a Foundation licencee
doing what you suggest. No, I'm not making the complaint.
