Assunto: Re: Most important changes for the Amateur's services in Portugal.<br>

"* Entry class 3 amateur´s radio must:<br>
<br>
* stay 2 years, minimum, on that class;<br>
<br>
* use 5 year maximum to apply for a class 2 permit. If they fail to get that permit they will lose the CAN;<br>
* use his station for reception only. For transmission they must use another licensed (from other class) amateur-radio station. In this case the presence of the owner is mandatory, acting as supervisor."<br>

That way lays madness. We had something similar in the Netherlands in the 80's: 6 channels in 2M only; pre-approved equipment, no homebrewing.<br>
<br>
After the 2-year period, many people had not upgraded.<br>
Annual extensions were added until the 2-year rule was dropped.<br>
<br>
Then, they gained more privileges: wider piece on 2M, piece of SSB, part of 70cm.<br>
<br>
Later, full 2M, more power, full 70cm, and part of HF was added.<br>
People from the first hour were grandfathered all the way up to this level.<br>
<br>
I challenge the Portugese regulator to really pull the plug when time is up. I bet we'll see gransfathering.<br>
