Radio Station Regulations




  1. A receiving-station license may be renewed upon payment of the
    prescribed fee at any of the offices referred to in Regulation 27 hereof.

AMATEUR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING, AND EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS.

  1. Any person desirous of obtaining a license to erect and operate an
    amateur transmitting and receiving or an experimental station shall make
    application to the nearest District or Deputy Radio Inspector.

  2. In addition to the particulars specified in Regulation 28 hereof,
    and any further information that may be required by the Minister, an
    applicant for an amateur transmitting and receiving station or for an
    experimental station license shall furnish—

(a.) Evidence of nationality:
(b.) A statement as to the purpose of the proposed radio station:

  1. When an application for an amateur transmitting and receiving or
    an experimental station is approved, the applicant will be notified that he
    may proceed to erect the station. Upon completion of the erection of the
    radio station, notification to that effect shall be sent promptly to the District
    Radio Inspector. Where deemed necessary, the District Radio Inspector
    shall inspect the station to determine whether it fulfils the requirements
    of these regulations. If the station be deemed satisfactory in all respects,
    the District Radio Inspector shall issue the license. The licensee may then,
    and not until then, operate the said radio station or permit the station to
    be operated.

  2. In cases in which inspection is deemed to be necessary and it is
    impracticable for the District Radio Inspector to have the completed
    amateur transmitting and receiving or experimental station inspected within
    a reasonable time, and he has reason to believe that the regulations have
    been complied with, he may issue a temporary permit for the operation of
    the station in accordance with these regulations until the said radio station
    is duly inspected and approved: Provided that the issue of such temporary
    permit shall not of itself impose upon the Minister an obligation to
    issue a license.

  3. Licenses for amateur transmitting and receiving and for experimental
    stations may be renewed upon payment of the prescribed fees at any of
    the offices referred to in Regulation 27 h reof.

AMATEUR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING STATIONS.

  1. Amateur transmitting and receiving station licenses, in the form in
    the Second Schedule hereto, shall be granted to amateurs with a sufficient
    knowledge of, or past experience in, radio-telegraphy and/or on their
    furnishing satisfactory testimonials from some recognized scientific or
    technological person or institution.

  2. The licensee of an amateur transmitting and receiving station shall
    not operate the station unless he holds an amateur operator's certificate, or
    a certificate of a higher class, but in the case of an association or corporation
    the licensee, not being in possession of such a certificate, may employ
    a person holding an amateur operator's certificate, or a certificate of a
    higher class, to assist in the operation of the station.

  3. A band of wave-lengths from 120 to 160 metres shall be available
    for the use of amateur transmitting and receiving stations: Provided that,
    at the discretion of the Minister, the use of other wave-lengths for special
    purposes may be granted to licensees who possess a high degree of skill in
    the science of radio-telegraphy.

  4. The power permitted to amateur transmitting and receiving stations
    shall be decided by the Minister, but shall not exceed 100 watts of radiated
    energy.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS.

  1. Experimental-station licenses in the form in the Third Schedule
    hereto shall be granted only to persons of recognized attainment in the
    theory or practice of radio-telegraphy, or to bodies engaged in conducting
    experiments for the development of the science of radio-telegraphy.

  2. The licensee of an experimental station shall not operate the said
    station unless he holds an amateur operator's certificate, or a certificate of
    a higher class; but the licensee, not being in possession of such a certificate,
    may employ a person holding an amateur operator's certificate, or a certificate
    of a higher class, to assist in the operation of the station.

  3. Experimental stations shall be allotted the amateur band of wave-
    lengths—i.e., 120 to 160 metres: Provided that, at the discretion of the
    Minister, the use of other wave-lengths may be approved for special experiments to be undertaken.

  4. The normal power of an experimental station shall be 100 watts of
    radiated energy.
