● Reciprocal Privileges
In Places Where the FCC Regulates Our Amateur Service
John B. Johnston W3BE Q.
U.S. citizens have to qualify for an FCC amateur operator/primary station license grant in order to receive
permission to cause an amateur station to transmit from a place where the FCC regulates our amateur service. They can only
do this by passing a test prepared and administered by our volunteer examiners. Foreigners, on the other hand, are granted
the exact same privileges without similarly qualifying. So, how does the FCC get away with allowing aliens not holding a FCC
license grant to operate their stations here? A. Communications Act SEC.303(l)(3) gives the FCC the power to issue authorizations, under such conditions as it may prescribe, to permit an alien licensed
by his government as an amateur radio operator to operate his amateur station licensed by his government in the U.S. provided
there is in effect a multilateral or bilateral operating arrangement, to which the U.S. and the alien's government are parties,
for amateur service operation on a reciprocal basis. The FCC has so prescribed the necessary conditions in Section 97.107. It says: A non-citizen of
the United States (“alien”) holding an amateur service authorization granted by the alien's government is authorized
to be the control operator of an amateur station located at places where the amateur service is regulated by the FCC, provided
there is in effect a multilateral or bilateral reciprocal operating arrangement, to which the United States and the alien's
government are parties, for amateur service operation on a reciprocal basis. The FCC will issue public announcements listing
the countries with which the United States has such an arrangement. No citizen of the United States or person holding an FCC
amateur operator/primary station license grant is eligible for the reciprocal operating authority granted by this section.
The privileges granted to a control operator under this authorization are: (a) For an amateur service license granted by the Government of Canada:
(1) The terms of the
Convention Between the United States and Canada (TIAS No. 2508) Relating to the Operation by Citizens of Either Country of
Certain Radio Equipment or Stations in the Other Country; (2) The operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license
issued by the Government of Canada; and (3) The applicable rules of this Part, but not to exceed the control operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class
operator license. (b)
For an amateur service license granted by any country, other than Canada, with which the United States has a multilateral
or bilateral agreement: (1) The terms of the agreement between the alien's government and the United States; (2) The operating terms and conditions of the amateur
service license granted by the alien's government; (3) The applicable rules of this part, but not to exceed the control operator privileges
of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator license; and (c) At any time the FCC may, in its discretion, modify, suspend or cancel the reciprocal
operating authority granted to any person by this section. Q. Where can I find the FCC public announcements listing the countries with which the United States
has reciprocal operating arrangements? A. They are listed on the FCC webpage About Amateur Reciprocal Operating Arrangements. Additionally, in Sections 97.301(a) and (b), certain transmitting frequency bands are available to an amateur station located within 50 km of the Earth's surface, within
the specified ITU region, and outside any area where the amateur service is regulated by any authority other than the FCC
for an amateur station having a Section 97.105 control operator who holds a CEPT radio-amateur license or IARP. Section 97.3(a)(12) defines a CEPT radio-amateur license as one issued by a country belonging to the European Conference of Postal and
Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) that has adopted Recommendation T/R 61–01 (Nice 1985, Paris 1992, Nicosia
2003). Section 97.3(a)(24) defines an IARP (International Amateur Radio Permit) as a document issued pursuant to the terms of the Inter-American Convention
on an International Amateur Radio Permit by a country signatory to that Convention, other than the United States. Montrouis,
Haiti. AG/doc.3216/95. Q. What are the
privileges of an alien amateur operator in the United States? A. Section 97.107(b) says that for an amateur service license granted by any country, other than Canada, with which the U.S. has a multilateral
or bilateral agreement, the privileges are the terms of the agreement between the alien's government and the U.S.; the
operating terms and conditions of the amateur service license granted by the alien's government; the applicable rules of Part
97, but not to exceed the control operator privileges of an FCC-granted Amateur Extra Class operator license. For an amateur service license granted by
the Government of Canada, the terms of the Convention Between the U.S. and Canada (TIAS No. 2508) Relating to the Operation
by Citizens of Either Country of Certain Radio Equipment or Stations in the Other Country also apply. ●▬ ▬ ●●●▬ ▬ ▬●●●
