You also need to have an International Amateur Radio Permit. You get it from the ARRL. Make sure you allow plenty of time to receive it. They get snippy if you ask for it in less than two or three weeks. It costs a few dollars to cover postage. You have to send a picture, like for a passport. It's all spelled out at http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/io/iarp-app.pdf
I found myself in Vancouver on Field Day weekend and received a warm welcome from the local hams when I showed up at midnight Saturday. Unfortunately there wasn't a key or paddle in sight, but I did work some 40M phone. Nobody asked for my IARP. :-) Craig NZ0R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 12:51 PM To: Fred (FL); [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Alaska - Cruise As it turns out, I am currently studying for my Extra. 1) The US and Canada have an agreement that allows amateurs in each country to operate in the other country using only their own amateur license.
