[OZAPRS] RA1AMW?!?!

[Les Poole]

Hi all

From the WIA news release of 22 Dec 2010;

A further matter raised by the WIA was that the Class Licence by Section  11 (1) 
.provided that "An amateur station must not be operated unless a  qualified 
person operating the station identifies the station by use of  the callsign, 
mentioned in subsection 6 (2), followed by the suffix VK"  and that was 
inconsistent with CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-01 and was an  exception to the way 
in which amateur callsigns are constructed under  similar arrangements. The WIA 
pointed out that T/R 61-01 provides that  "When transmitting in the visited 
country the licence holder must use  his national call sign preceded by the call 
sign prefix of the visited  country as indicated in Appendices II and IV.  The 
call sign prefix and  the national call sign must be separated by the character 
"/"  (telegraphy) or the word "stroke" (telephony)." Subsection 11 (1) of the  
Class Licence has been amended to read “An amateur station must not be  operated 
unless a qualified person operating the station identifies the  station by using 
the call sign mentioned in paragraph section 6 (2) (e)  preceded by the letters 
VK.”

Umm, no?

From the class license:

11 Use of callsigns 
(1) An amateur station must not be operated unless a qualified person operating 
the station identifies the station by use of the callsign, mentioned in 
subsection 6 (2), followed by the suffix VK

That's the document that the ACMA site says Overseas Amateurs must follow when 
operating here for less than 90 days ?

Regards,

Damien
