ATTENTION TRAVELING HAMS!
Want to operate in other countries while you are traveling? Here's how!
Hams in the US: Except in Canada, a permit to operate is
needed in every country. In countries with which the US has
a reciprocal agreement, no exam is needed; in others, you may
or may not be permitted to operate. 73 International strongly
recommends you begin any travel planning (months before your
scheduled departure) with a business-size SASE to the AAAl
Information Service requesting its "slx-paqe general information
packet." Then, follow the AAAl suggestions.
Non·US Hams: Write your own national radio society for similar
information. Be sure to include return postage.
All countries require basic information when you apply for a
permit tooperate within their boundaries. In addition, each usually
has special requirements. See the form below for an attempt at
coverage of basic information. 73's foreign correspondents will
