> A3, TONGA. Paul, A35RK, informs OPDX that changes are (and will be) taking
> place in Tonga. He informs that he has recently made a visit to
> Nuku'alofa,
> the capital city, and during his stay there, Paul had a very productive
> meeting with the Radio Licensing Officer and the Technical Officer in
> the newly formed Department of Communications. In the past amateur radio
> issues have been managed by a variety of different government agencies:
> Tonga Telecom, Marine and Ports, the Post Office, the Treasury, and most
> recently the Prime Minister's Office. Pauls states, "All that has changed,
> and we now have a 'one-stop-shop' for amateur radio licensing and
> regulation.
> Virtually all radio-related legislation is currently under review, and a
> number of changes will be coming soon. A brief summary of our discussion,
> and the outcomes, follows:
> INFORMATION AVAILABILITY - The Department of Communications is building
> a website. They intend to make license application forms available
> online.
>
> LICENSING PROCEDURES - Licensing procedures for visiting operators and
> yachts in transit will be simplified, especially for those entering the
> country somewhere other than Nuku'alofa (ie Vava'u). They may also make
> it possible to actually apply for a license online. However, they still
> want to 'see' an applicant before actually issuing a license.
>
> ENTRY LEVEL LICENSE CLASS - A 'Novice' type of entry level license may be
> created, in order to encourage more activity. The formation of a club
> station and licensing classes (possibly thru the Tonga Maritime Training
> Institute) was discussed.
>
> CALLSIGN ALLOCATION -
> 1) A35x (single letter suffix) callsigns may soon be issued to
> resident
> 'Advanced Class' licensees, and possibly to special event and
> contest operations.
> 2) A35xx (2 letter suffix) callsigns may be issued to entry level
> licensees.
> 3) A35xxx (3 letter suffix) callsigns may be issued to short-term
> visitors and transitting yachts.
> 4) The existing callsign registry will be 'purged' of all inactive
> callsigns, thus allowing for more new issues. An effort will
> be made to publish a list of 'current' licensees annually.
>
> POWER LIMITS - Permitted output power will increase from the present 100
> watts to 400 watts. This will bring Tonga up to the same level that is
> authorized in New Zealand and Australia.
>
> ADDITIONAL 40 METER ALLOCATION - The current 40M allocation is 7.0-7.1
> MHz. In addition, 7.1-7.2 MHz operation will be permitted on a secondary
> basis.
>
> 60 METER ALLOCATION - This was discussed, but no allocation will be
> considered until further studies and consultations are made, possibly
> next year.
>
> EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS - Tonga now has a government Emergency Response
> Plan, and amateur radio participation is authorized in conjunction with
> the Tonga Defense Force, the Tonga Meteorological Service, the Ministry
> of Civil Aviation, and the Tonga Red Cross.
>
> MONITORING and ENFORCEMENT - The government intends to more carefully
> monitor amateur and maritime communications in an effort to reduce
> 'boot-legging' and to insure compliance with regulations.
>
> I'll keep you advised as things develop. Discussions continue, and I
> must say that the new Department of Communications is very open and
> cooperative. If anyone needs further information, they may contact:
> Fe'ao Vakata (That's pronounced "Fay AH oh Va ka TAH"), Radio Licensing
> Officer <fvakata at pmo.gov.to>"
>
> A3, TONGA. Ramon, XE1KK, is planning to be active from Tonga in October
> during the CQWW DX SSB Contest (October 24-25th). His callsign will be
