RADIO POLITICS:  WORLD HAM RADIO LICENSE MAY BE ON ITS WAY

In other news out of the conference (annual meeting on October in El Salvador of The Administrative Council of the International Amateur Radio Union or IARU ), Radio Amateurs of
Canada reports that a true world wide ham radio license could be in the hobby's future.

Daniel Lamoureux, VE2KA, is the Vice President International
Affairs for Radio Amateurs of Canada.  He says that El
Salvador's Superintendent of Communications surprised
everyone at the end of his speech by announcing that his
nation had decided to sign the International Amateur Radio
Permit or IARP Agreement.

For those of you not aware, the IARP Agreement is designed
to allow ham radio operation in certain countries of the
Americas without seeking a special license or permit to
enter and operate from that country. 

 According to Lamoureux, this move by El Salvador is a very significant
and means that in a short time the IARPand the pan-European
Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations
or CEPT International Amateur licenses might be harmonized
and become one.
