#NRAO #HamRadio ProjectHey folks. I have questions about non-US citizens getting #fcc #amateurradio licenses in the US and then converting that license into one they can use in their home country. Where can I find a concise description of the rules that would enable this practice? I've searched the fcc.gov site. I'm particularly interested in #Aotearoa (#NewZealand).
I know that this can be done because I used to work with someone from #Ireland who got licensed in the US first and then used the US license to apply for a license back home. He told me that doing it this way was easier administratively than applying directly in Ireland.
😂the answer to every question is "it depends". In this case, you don't have to be a #US #citizen to get a US #amateurradio license, but depending on where you're from, your #US license may not be accepted for credit toward a license in your home country. For example, #Aotearoa only has one license grade and it is equivalent to #US #extraclass. You'll have to sit for an exam in #newzealand if you have #General or #technician class licenses.
