: How many countries have two kinds of licences: operator's licence and station licence? You only get your callsign (station licence) after you bring your rig in for inspection, whereupon you are granted a callsign whose letter reflect the level of operator's licence you have achieved. Taiwan is one. This seems like a commercial radio concept dragged over into ham radio. One would think one equipment approval would be enough too, as all rigs on the market already have local FCC approval. This is the system in Spain, although they only have to write a description of their station to get the station licence (and, of course, pay an additional fee!). US military enclaves (Guanatanamo, etc, can't remember all of them right now) all have the same system. One advantage in both of those systems is that a licence issued anywhere in the world is accepted as the operator's licence. Other than that, it does seem terribly redundant. |
