Well Phil, why didn't you mention that when you first heard on here
that the repeater in question is transmitting on a nationally
recognized simplex channel, and *also* using a simplex freq as
its input?

Using simplex on the simplex frequency that happens to coincide with the
*input* can not be considered as deliberate interference; if the simplex
operators listen before transmitting and hear nothing then their
QSO (on this nationally recognized simplex frequency) would be
perfectly legal. The fact that the repeater owner *chose* that
simplex channel as his repeater input means that he apparently
*desired* to repeat simplex QSO's over his  machine.

Even better than that - Generals and above are not limited to their
FCC privileges, but can use full "Advanced + 12 wpm" Canadian
privileges!  Here are the gory details:


-------------------------------------------------------------------

       FAQ: US Automatic Reciprocal Operation in Canada


Q1: I have an FCC-issued amateur license.  What do I have to do to
operate an amateur radio station in Canada?

A: A reciprocity treaty, TIAS 2508, provides for US-Canada reciprocal
operation of amateur radio stations.  No application, registration, or
fee is required.  You are automatically eligible to operate in Canada
if all three of these conditions apply:

  1. You have a valid FCC-issued license;
  2. You are a US Citizen;
  3. You are a resident of the US (if you're not a US resident,
    please direct your questions to a Canadian official.  As I
    understand it, if you become a Canadian resident, your US
    license is good for a while, but they expect you to get
    a Canadian one eventually).

(GR2.45.1.a, RIC-25 p. 9)


Q2: What privileges do Canadian operators have?

A: Legally, Canada has no separate phone band or other mode
restrictions.  Instead, they adhere, on a voluntary basis, to a
bandplan, similar to the way we use 160 meters.  (The IARU Region 2
bandplan can be found in Chapter 2 of the ARRL Operating Manual.)
Canadian amateur bands are the same as those in the US up through 1.2
GHz, except they have all of 220-225 MHz, and they only have 430-450
MHz.  There are, however, bandwidth limits (-26 db):

160, 80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 12 meters: 6 kHz maximum bandwidth
                         30 meters: 1 kHz
                         10 meters: 20 kHz
                       6, 2 meters: 30 kHz
                               220: 100 kHz
                          440, 902: 12 MHz
                    1.2 GHz and up: none specified

(Schedule II, RIC-25 p. 15)


Q3: What privileges am I allowed while operating in Canada?

A: All foreign amateurs, including those from the US, are assigned
reciprocal privileges according to the Morse Code speed needed to
qualify for their license:

  12+ wpm:  All "Advanced + 12" privileges
        (i.e., *all* Canadian privileges)

    [US General, Advanced, Extra Class]

  5-11 wpm: All privileges above 30 MHz,
            PLUS CW and CW only on all bands below 30 MHz;
        limited to Basic privileges [*]

        [*] *Canadian* Basic + 5 wpm licensees are allowed
            full access above 30 MHz, plus (full) access to
            80 and 160, only.  However, the above *is* what
            the rules say about *foreign* amateurs operating
            in Canada.

    [US Novice Class, Technician + 5 WPM code]

  0-4 wpm:  All privileges above 30 MHz, with Advanced privileges

    [US Technician without code]

(GR2.45.2,3,4, RIC-25 p. 9)


Q4: What's the difference between Basic and Advanced?

A: Without Advanced Qualification (or equivalent), you may not:

 1. posess or install a transmitter or amplifier that isn't
    commercially designed and manufatured;
 2. posess or install any radio apparatus manufactured specifically
    for use as a repeater where input and output are on the same band;
 3. install a repeater where input and output are on the same band;
 4. set up a club station

(GR2.47, RIC-25 p. 10)

Basic operators are also limited to lower power.


Q5: What are the power limits?

A: An Advanced operator or equivalent can use up to 1000 W dc input,
if power is measured as input to the final stage, *or* an output of
2250 W PEP SSB/750 W carrier power for other modes, if output power is
measured.

A Basic operator or equivalent is limited to 250 W input, *or*
560 W PEP SSB/ 190 W carrier power other modes, output.

It is illegal in Canada to posess or install a transmitter or
amplifier capable of exceeding your legal maximum power by 3 db.

(GR2.58, RIC- 25 p. 11-12)


Q6: So a General class licensee can transmit phone on 3760 or even
14140 kHz?  And a Novice can use a 2 meter repeater?

A: Absolutely.


Q7: But I heard that the FCC won't allow you to exceed your US
operating privileges, even in another country.

A: I personally called the FCC and was able to confirm that this is
NOT the case.  The FCC does not enforce Part 97 in foreign countries.
Despite what you may have read, it is perfectly legal to use whatever
privileges Canada allows you (see above) while you are operating a
station in Canada.


Q8: How do I identify in Canada?

A: If you're operating under your US license, then you use your call
"mobile" (if you are) or "portable" (if you're not), *followed by* the
appropriate indicator:

Nfld: VO1
Lab:  VO2
PEI:  VY2
NS:   VE1
NB:   VE9 (since Dec 1993; prior to this it was part of VE1)
Que:  VE2
Ont:  VE3 or VA3
Mtba: VE4
Sask: VE5
Alta: VE6
BC:   VE7
NWT:  VE8
Yukon:VY1

On CW, RTTY, and such you just use a slash, for example, I would use
"KG2S/VE2" in Quebec.

The treaty requires you give your location by City and
Province/Territory at least once per contact, but the Canadian rules
make no mention of this.

While the treaty requires English ID, the Canadian rules allow you to
use French, too.  A chacun son gout.  (However, you are not limited to
English or French during your contacts; you can use any language.)

Of course, if you operate a Canadian station or get a Canadian license
yourself, you use that callsign.

(GR2.57.1-3, RIC-25 p. 12)


Q9: What if I'm not from the US?

A: You will have to contact Communications Canada (numbers below) and
apply for permission to operate.  If your country has a reciprocal
agreement with Canada, your privileges (once licensed) will be those
outlined in Question 3.

If you, as a US licensee, want a Canadian license, you may be able to
get it merely by passing a 26-question rules exam and giving a
Canadian address.  I know of at least one Advanced-class licensee who
has done this with a Delegated Examiner.  A Canadian station license
carries an annual fee (currently about CDN$24), and license terms end
31 March of each year.


Q10: I'd like to get a copy of the Canadian rules.  What do I do?
Where do I address questions if I'm in a "gray area"?

A: I highly recommend getting a copy of the rules.  They publish a
number of circulars called RICs that you can order.  They sent me
these without charge.  You can get them in French, too, of course
("CIR-25", etc.).

 RIC-25: Rules and Regulations affecting the Amateur Service. 24 pp.

 RIC-3: Banned Countries/Reciprocal List/Third Party Traffic List

 RIC-66: Addresses and Telephone Numbers of Regional and District
         Offices

If you want information on exams in Canada, ask for:

 RIC-24: Information on the Amateur Operator's Certificate
         Examinations

 RIC-1: Information on the Delegated Examiner system

There are a lot of District offices, so I'm only going to list one in
each Province.  You can ask them to mail the rules to you, or you
could get the address for the office closest to where you'll be
visiting and go pick up what you want there.

  Ken,

    It's probably _never_ too early to prepare for Dayton '95. <grin>
Although I've heard rumors that motels in the Dayton area won't accept
reservations for Dayton '95 lodging until after January 1, you can
always try. This year, the tentative dates are April 28, 29, and 30th. If
you're interested in selling in the flea market area, you should get your
application for a space(s) in before Feb. 1.
    I've attended each year since '86 and I'm still amazed at the sheer
size of the 'fest.

   For more "official" info, you might want to try writing to:

Hi all. Thanks for taking the trouble to read this.
In the September 1994 copy of CQ mag, page 100, there is mention of a
map of the South Pacific stating that a copy can be obtained free
from The Sate of Hawaii, Dept of Business, Economic Development and
Tourism, PO Box 2359, Honolulu.

I would very much like a copy of this map as I just cannot find a similar
thing here in the UK.

Does anyone know if they would ship one here free of charge (it says they
do in the article but maybe that is just to the US mainland??) or would
they want some payment / something towards postage / IRC's / dollar bill???

Any help would be appreciated.

Of course, if anyone works there and a copy is free then maybe you
could arrange for one to be sent to me!

Thanks and 73...Peter, G4BVH.

HB>The ARRL study consisted of a number of surveys via US Mail, packet,
HB>and in-person interviews.  In all, several hundred persons were heard
HB>from in that effort.  The committee reported overwhelming support for
HB>the basic idea, although many suggestions for improving the introduction.
HB>The FCC NRPM would have had a simultaneous availability for all
HB>applicants.  The ARRL proposal, based on the Committee study, recommended
HB>a series of stages so that all the FCC-610V forms didn't deluge
HB>Gettysburg at once.

HB>Current law is what drives the $70 fee ($7.00 per year for a 10-year
HB>license) each time a person renews their license.  ARRL has separately
HB>proposed a one-time up front fee (I believe the suggestion was $150.).

The charge on lifetime commercial licenses is only based on a 15 year
period which makes them $105.  As no further testing is required for
licenses couldn't the amateur licenses be considered to be lifetime?
