Radio amateurs facing unnecessary restrictions

The International Amateur Radio Union Region 3, which covers the Asia
Pacific, is concerned by the unnecessary restrictions facing radio
amateurs.

The IARU Region 3 conference in Bali last year, through reports and
discussion, noted the ongoing difficulties still existing in certain
countries.

Those barriers include restrictions on the possession and operation of
transmitters and receivers. The IARU lists a number of issues that
should be a “baseline” for working with the administrations, such as
achieving improvements to licensing, examination and other operating
conditions.

Gone should be the old era of ‘Post and Telegraph’ with most now
taking on a much broader the role of a national radio regulator. The
modern radio amateur in many of the more developed countries now enjoy
full operating privileges resulting from subsequent decisions made at
the World Radiocommunication Conferences.

In a posting on the Amateur Radio Victoria (VK3) site they say "In
support of the Korean Amateur Radio League, Philippine Amateur Radio
Association, Amateur Radio Society India and others, the IARU urges
the removal of those and similar restrictions."
