Singapore to Make Temporary Licenses Available for Visiting Hams
October 11, 2008 by kb3ljm.
On Thursday, October 9, the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society (SARTS) — that country’s IARU Member-Society — announced that the Infocommunications Development Authority (IDA ) would begin issuing temporary Amateur Radio licenses for visiting hams; the IDA is the agency responsible for Amateur Radio licenses in Singapore. According to SARTS Vice President Peter Cook, 9V1PC, visiting hams should apply three weeks before arriving in Singapore. The license, typically valid for a three month period at a cost of 50 Singapore dollars (or $25 for VHF/UHF-only operation), would use the call sign 9V1/home call (for example, 9V1/K1SFA). “The Singapore administration’s accommodation of visiting radio amateurs will be greatly appreciated by many who visit and pass through this busy city-state,” said IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ. “Congratulations to the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society for achieving this long-sought objective.” Check the IDA Web site for the application process and necessary forms.
