[K3PZN-List] [PVRC] Fw: Fw: UA9UAX Seeks Chance to Make Some QSOs While Visiting

[Nick Proy (WT3O)]

We could always offer a VE session for Oleg. All that international hams need for a US license are (1) a US *mailing* address and (2) pass the required exam.

I'll offer up my PO Box as an address if he's interested (I do this for NZ1W / IZ4AFW), but he'd need to have someone else handle the QSL cards.

Sincerely,
Nick Proy (WT3O)

Fred and Jim, 

Thanks for coming to my aid on this one !  I needed it.  

I will inform Oleg of our restrictions on this matter of operating from the US, and the potential hospitality of non-operating visits only.

 Others  who know the rules much better than I do may wish to comment, but my understanding is that he could not legally operate as W3/UA9UAX since there is no reciprocal operating agreement between the USA and Russia.  The Russian hams who were here for WRTC last year all had passed the US exam and had their own US call signs.  Unless UA9UAX does the same, he would be treated the same as an unlicensed person while sitting in the operating position at a US ham's shack.

(Not that the FCC would know; with a limited budget they don't monitor the US ham bands except as the result of a complaint.)

Sorry to be a wet blanket...   I have had Russian ham visitors in my shack on a couple of occasions.

I have this request from a UA9 ham who will be visiting his family in Eldersburg MD, who wishes to make some QSOs while he is visiting.  My own house is still in recovery from water damage, not yet a pleasant place to visit, so I am hoping someone can host him for a visit to a rig.  I am imagining Oleg would be pleased to reach central Asia, but sense he will be happy to find himself to a rig.  If it turns out to be an evening or weekend time slot I could likely assist with transportation, but feel free to use any convenient time slot available. Please and thanks for considering his request.

I received this interesting email froma foreign visitor.  My first floor is currently a near-wreckrecovering from some water damage, so although my station is together weare not anxious to host a visitor.  I cannot think of another activeham in E-burg.  I guess I could toss this onto the reflectors, but Idon't know that he has transportation to easily visit any of the PVRCcrowd.  Depending on time, I could be game to pick him to take him toa rig some place.  I can only think of N3IQ and K3TAZ as otherpossibilities -- I sense he may just be looking for an hour or two at a rigto enjoy a memorable visit.  I haven't looked to see if anyone has anormal meeting in this window, I doubt it.  Of course I have zerodiplomatic experience, but I sense he is just a normal middle classham.  What do you think -- should I punt this to PVRC?

I do not "big gun",  just usual HAM. It would beinteresting to make a dozen CW QSOs as W3/ UA9UAX from  USA:))
