First Tunisian licences in six decades
The IARU reports that the first three authorisations to operate have been issued to three Tunisian amateurs.
These are the first amateur permits issued since 1956.
3V8HB, 3V8MN and 3V1MB will soon be on the air from their homes, rather than being restricted to operating from a club station.
Issuing individual authorisations to operate is a new process in Tunisia and involves a number of stages, including equipment conformity checks.
This is great news for Tunisians that the process now exists so that radio amateurs can practice their hobby from homes in full compliance with the Tunisian laws.
The IARU Member Society ARAT extends its thanks to the National Agency of Frequencies, the Ministry of Telecommunications and all involved parties for making this happen.
