Dick et al, John is undoubtedly correct as to the wording of the treaty, and its interpretation in the US.  However, in practice, foreign officials cannot always be expected to understand that a US license that says "Technician" really is something else (i.e., Technician Plus) 0because the indi

Why on Gods earth would anyone use an IRC any more? Put a flippin Green stamp in the envelope. (dxpeditions - $5) it cost you a $ vs almost 2 and the guy on the other end gets to keep the change (possible half of it). Crooks can steal a IRC just as fast as they can a buck.. my 2 cents worth
