Dear Fellow Amateur:
Here are answers to most of your questions regarding your interest in operating in the United States, and its territories/possessions (KH1-0 and KP1-5).
May I operate in the U.S.?
Aliens who hold a valid amateur license issued by their government may apply to the Federal Communications Commission for a permit to operate in the U.S. only if a reciprocal operating agreement exists between the U.S. and the above mentioned government.
How do I apply?
Effective February 12, 1999 no application is required.
I am a U.S. citizen living overseas, but have only an alien license. Can I obtain a reciprocal permit for operating in the U.S.?
No. Only non-citizens may obtain permits. If an alien becomes a U.S. citizen, the reciprocal permit becomes invalid, and the amateur must then take a U.S. amateur exam and apply for a regular U.S. license and callsign.
How will I Identify on the air?
You will sign the representative prefix of the call area where you are located, plus the Morse "/" or phone "stroke", followed by your home (native) call, (for example, W1/LU1AAA and KP4/YU7ZZZ). At least once during each contact with another amateur station, you must give your geographical location in English as nearly as possible by city and state, commonwealth or possession.
On what frequency will I be able to operate, and with how much power?
You may have all the privileges that you have in your home country as long as they do not exceed the privileges of the Amateur Extra Class license of the USA.
My home country has not yet entered into a reciprocal operating agreement with the United States. I would like to have more privileges by signing a regular U.S. call.
The FCC says that any alien who can provide the FCC with a U.S. mailing address can take a U.S. amateur examination. For detailed information, please contact the Volunteer Examiner Department of the ARRL Headquarters.
How can I obtain the text of the Amateur Radio Rules of the United States?..Information Repeaters?
The FCC Rule Book is available from the Circulation Department of the ARRL Headquarters. Repeaters in the United States and Canada are listed in the Repeater Directory, another ARRL publication.
How can I locate American amateurs who will be willing to meet me, let me visit them, and possibly accommodate me?
Contact your IARU member-society, or send an SASE and three IRC to the Regulatory Information Branch of the ARRL Headquarters. We can provide you with a list of several dozens of U.S. amateurs who participate in the International Travel Host Exchange (ITHE) program.
