And any others... My address is available... You would be amazed at the
number of hams who live here... 

Generally people license it for a few years in a go... Which reminds me...
I
have a renewal to send out for a friend

Well off-topic for this list, (so my last burst on the subject) but, to
get
a VK license I need a VK address, so have to tell a fib. To get a
visitor's
license I need to prove my arrival and departure times (I wonder why?) and
pay for a whole year.

Other (enlightened) countries don't charge for reciprocal licenses at all,
and even more enlightened just allow visiting amateurs to operate with
their
home callsign - no paperwork.  

I see the VK amateur license process is up for review, maybe someone
should
ask for some more visitor-friendly arrangement to be allowed? It would
certainly increase the number of visitors operating in the country
(assuming
that is desirable of course).

73,
Alan

You need an Australian callsign to operate in Australia. Most people I
know
just get a permanent Aussie callsign. It is a $55,000 fine to operate
without a valid license.
