Tsk, tsk, tsk, hiding from truth, freedom, and independence. Perverse mental activity. Ostrich syndrome. You provide truth, freedom and independence? Maybe I'm missing something in your posts. Hide head in sand and all you can hear is the drumbeats of the league making you tap in time to only their loud music, the rhythm of olde- time hamme radio as it was. It shields you from realization that there are others out there who do not agree with you. It is safe, secure, warm, comforting, makes you feel very superior to shut out all other independent thought. Dee has built a privacy hedge around her cozy home so she doesn't have to view the ugly landfill. You are the landfill. Tyrants love the ostrich syndrome. Plays right into their rule. Yeah, I hear Saddam Hussein was quite the Ostrich man. Dave K8MN |

I got my first taste of ham radio during a '40s civil defense drill when I was assigned to him as his Cub Scout message runner while he was mobiling. Oyez, quite a chap, that one! Next to him we're all babies... 73 de Jim, N2EY No, we're all hams. Save for one who has an interest in ham radio. |

Hi, Len, after reading through your last 25 posts to 10 threads, and did not find anything useful, exept wrong spelled english and german, but nothing about Amateur Radio Policy, I have to ask you directly about one very important thing. Please don't expect Lennyboy to ever have anything useful to say, that would be too much of a strain on the poor old man. |

snip Have the Canadian rules changed? The last time I read it you had to be both a US citizen and a US resident to qualify. I'm not an American (or a Canadian either) so I couldn't operate in Canada using my US call. The rules I read were certainly not reciprocal, though. An American with a US call and residing in the US could operate in Canada for only 2 months within the terms of the nearest Canadian licence (No WARC bands or 40m for Generals!), whereas a Canadian with a Canadian call could operate indefinitely in the US, even living here permanently, under the terms of their Canadian licence (not to exceed Extra). Not sure if they have changed, Alun - just discovered them when I bacame a ham a couple of years ago! The link to the RAC page with info on the current reciprocal agreement is: http://www.rac.ca/regulatory/rcip.htm and IC RIC-3, which contains the details on the various agreements, US and other, is at: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/insmt-gst.nsf/vwapj/ric3.pdf/$FILE/ric3.pdf From what I read in these documents, one need only possess a US licence to gain full Canadian privileges appropriate to the licence class. For countries other than the US, CEPT and IARP permits are acceptable. Hope that helps! 73, Leo |

I was told by Industry Canada that they would not enforce the citizenship requirement anyway under the old rules, but I didn't feel very secure to rely on that! 73, Alun |

For countries other than the US, CEPT and IARP permits are acceptable. Hope that helps! 73, Leo The first page talks about 'Americans operating in Canada', but I am not an American, just someone with a US licence! That is the problem. Reading further, RIC-2 limits operation under the bilateral agreement to US citizens who are US residents, just as the previous rules did. However, in RIC-3 it says that operating in Canada is possible under CEPT. I cannot use my US licence under CEPT, as the CEPT letter that the FCC publish says that it is only valid for US citizens (I've no idea why, as the CEPT treaty does not mention citizenship anywhere). However, if I got my UK licence re-activated it would automatically be valid in Canada under CEPT. Someone who wasn't British would still be able to do that, although I am actually a British citizen. I often go across the border to Windsor when I visit Detroit, but I have never operated on the Canadian side. It seems if I did so it would have to be as VE3/G8VUK, after first getting my UK licence back. 73 de Alun, N3KIP |

Reading further, RIC-2 limits operation under the bilateral agreement to US citizens who are US residents, just as the previous rules did. You're right - I missed that completely. I should have looked it up RIC-2 as well, I suppose! However, in RIC-3 it says that operating in Canada is possible under CEPT. I cannot use my US licence under CEPT, as the CEPT letter that the FCC publish says that it is only valid for US citizens (I've no idea why, as the CEPT treaty does not mention citizenship anywhere).

I often go across the border to Windsor when I visit Detroit, but I have never operated on the Canadian side. It seems if I did so it would have to be as VE3/G8VUK, after first getting my UK licence back. Which seems like a pretty cumbersome process - I wonder why the citizenship rules were placed in the US/Canada agreement? One would think that the licence would be sufficient to prove competence, and residency to prove QTH... 73 de Alun, N3KIP 73, Leo |
