As a now-retired long-term FCC field manager I have personal reservations about a non-US citizen who is a non-US resident going to a non-US location to get a US ham license. I know that it's done (particularly by JAs) but something just doesn't sound right to me. Then again, what do I know? They didn't listen to me much when I was on board and found such anomalies either...... I have a long-expired license from what was then a DX country where I was a multi-year resident on a job assignment with their Ministry if Communications, their equivalent of the FCC. On my last visit some years ago the Ministry told me that they will not reactivate it unless I immigrate, even if I come for visits. But then again, they have never reissued the call sign either.... -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
