Veikko,

There have been some changes over the years in Singapore. Licencing and Regulation is now under the control of the Infocomm Development Authority of
Singapore (IDA). Their address and the application form has changed:

The radio amateur application form and the Amateur handbook contiuneing the information on the regulation required for submission of amateur station in
Singapore can be downloaded from the IDA website http://www.ida.gov.sg/ .
The exact address where the radio amateurs' application forms (3 pages) were located was the following:
http://www.ida.gov.sg/License/LiGuides2.nsf/hLuDownload1/AF401/$FILE/AF401.pdf?OpenElement
and this address is valid until the destination URL changes. IDA have recently updated the Amateur Handbook in the IDA website with the change in the Morse speed and evaluation criteria (now 5WPM).

There is also a lot of practical help available via the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society at website http://www.sarts.org.sg/

Regards,

Peter, 9V1PC
