Spain again authorizes foreign novice licensees transmissions
Spain had been authorizing foreign radio amateurs, regardless of their license class, to use their equipment in the country for a period of
90 days a year, upon prior authorization, until 2023, when the Administration changed the criteria for interpreting the rule
and denied all new applications.
The EURAO member association in Spain, FEDI-EA, has been insisting all this time to the Administration to revert this interpretation to the one it had previously made, finally achieving that goal.
This type of temporary authorization is free of charge. Those interested must provide the address of residence during their stay in Spain and the start and end dates, as well as a copy of the ham licence and the passport. It is recommended to submit the application well in advance of the trip (at least six weeks).
The same also applies to those radio amateurs with a full licence from countries that have not adopted the CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-01.
If you need help with the process, you can become a member of FEDI-EA
