ARLA/CLUSTER: Regulamentação das ligações à Internet do Serviço de Amador na Nova Zelandia.

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

The New Zealand Regulator has concluded its review of Internet
Connected Amateur Radio and has concluded that no changes to the
licence are required.

NZART reports:

Members may recall that the ALO asked in Infoline 210 for input to a
paper he was putting together, at Radio Spectrum Management’s request,
on the topic of Internet Connected Amateur Radio.

RSM have now completed their review of this topic and have concluded
that no changes are required to the current Amateur General User Radio
Licence conditions to accommodate Internet-connected amateur radio
modes such as APRS, IRLP, D-Link, etc. provided:

• the transmissions are taking place from an Amateur operator's property; and

• frequency coordination with non-amateur services is not required.

Normal repeater licensing procedures will continue to apply to those
circumstances where frequency coordination is required and/or the
internet-connected device is located at a site belonging to a
non-amateur third party such as Kordia, Telecom, etc.

Also, in operating Internet-connected systems, Amateurs need to be
aware of the provisions of section 5.3 of the Amateur General User
Licence (GURL), as well as Regulation 25.2 of the International Radio
Regulations:

“Transmission between amateur stations of different countries shall be
limited to communications incidental to the purposes of the amateur
service, as defined in 1.56 and to remarks of a personal character.”
