During the recent operation
of AP2AP by JA1EZM the following information has been published by PARS :

From: AP2TJ - Tariq <ap2tj at paknet2.ptc.pk>
PARS has the following to
state with regard to this message:
The only competent
authority to issue licenses and callsigns temporary or otherwise is the
Frequency Allocation Board of the Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA), Government
of Pakistan. PTT was converted into a commercial corporation (PTCL) in 1994 and
therefore cannot legally allow anyone the use of amateur radio frequencies for
testing of commercial radio stations, neither can it allow the use of a ham
callsign by someone other than the owner of the same, which is strictly
prohibited under the terms of the license.
PARS therefore reiterates
that AP2AP by JA1EZM is not a valid/legal amateur radio operation as defined by
the local rules & regulations.

Tariq/AP2TJ.

Comments: Hi Veikko,
Foreigners are NOT given reciprocal licenses, even though we (PARS) have been
fighting for it since long. Even locals have to wait sometimes more than a year
to get a license, mostly the answer is "NO". Foreigners can however
work as guests from licensed club stations like AP2ARS, AP2WAP etc. etc. New
