*Singapore to Make Temporary Licenses Available for Visiting Hams* (Oct 9,
2008) -- On Thursday, October 9, the Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting
Society (SARTS <http://www.sarts.org.sg/>) -- that country's
IARU<http://www.iaru.org/>Member-Society -- announced that the
Infocommunications Development
Authority (IDA <http://www.ida.gov.sg/home/index.aspx> ) would begin issuing
temporary Amateur Radio licenses for visiting hams; the IDA is the agency
responsible for Amateur Radio licenses in Singapore. According to SARTS Vice
President Peter Cook, 9V1PC, visiting hams should apply three weeks before
arriving in Singapore. The license, typically valid for a three month period
at a cost of 50 Singapore dollars (or $25 for VHF/UHF-only operation), would
use the call sign 9V1/home call (for example, 9V1/K1SFA). "The Singapore
administration's accommodation of visiting radio amateurs will be greatly
appreciated by many who visit and pass through this busy city-state," said
IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ. "Congratulations to the Singapore Amateur
Radio Transmitting Society for achieving this long-sought objective." Check
the IDA Web site for the application process and necessary
forms<http://www.ida.gov.sg/doc/Policies%20and%20Regulation/Policies_and_Regulation_Level2/Guidelines%20on%20Licensing%20Scheme/GuideAmateur.pdf>
