1F1  Q4  Recall that other Administrations (foreign countries) do not routinely recognise the Foundation Licence.


The Foundation Licence does not give you the right to operate in a foreign country so do not expect to pop across the English Channel and operate say hand portable in France for as the heading says "other Administrations (foreign countries) do not routinely recognise the Foundation Licence".

16(1)  Where the Licensee is authorised to operate abroad in accordance with Clause 2(1)(b), the Licensee shall:

  1. comply with the requirements applicable to the use of wireless telegraphy apparatus at the location of operation in the host country;

  2. present this Licence upon request to the relevant supervisory authorities in the host country;

  3. unless instructed otherwise by the host country, use the Callsign specified in Section 1 of this Licence after the appropriate host country Callsign prefix.

Remember, that not all countries recognise our Foundation Licence.

It is important that students read and learn all the terms and conditions as set out in section 2 of the Amateur Licence.
