License
FK/JA1NLX
It was 2007 and 2009 when I got FK/JA1NLX license. I asked travel agency to
receive my license because they do not send copy of license via e-mail. License
was only valid during stay !!! The first step is to fix travel schedule and
reserve accommodation. Next step is to apply license.
3D2YA
They now ask us to submit "Police Clearance Report" together with application
form. TAF (Telecommunicaton Authority of Fiji) issue each license only if
Ministry of Defense give credit. Someone tell that he has not received license
for a year or so. I know big DX Pedition team operated a few months ago. I do
not know they have submitted "Police Clearance Report"
I sent application form, police clearance report and application fee by EMS for
my renewal license on Dec 25, 2012. They received it on Dec 31, 2012. I do not
know when I get license. Only God know when !!!
Finally I got 4.5 years renewal license on Jan 16, 2013. I have renewal license
which is valid through Feb 2022.
A35AY
It was 2009 and 2010 when I got A35AY license. They were very kind and issued
one year license. They sent me copy of license via e-mail.
JA1NLX/VK4
If we plan to stay within 90 days then we can operate with our license issued by
our country. They suggest that we use callsign like JA1NLX/VK4 not VK4/JA1NLX
P29VNX
I sent application form and application fee by registered mail on Dec 21, 2012.
The Post Office gave me a notification that they received it on Jan 17, 2013. I
received copy of P29VNX license by email on Feb 7, 2013. Very good callsign
!!! Original license has been sent by mail. It took about 1.5 month.
This is 1 year license.
