Part 1 Preliminary
Name of Class Licence [see Note 1]
This Class Licence is the Radiocommunications (Overseas Amateurs Visiting Australia) Class Licence 2008.
Commencement
This Class Licence commences on 14 February 2008.
Note
This Class Licence allows a person to operate an amateur station only if the person is an amateur visiting from overseas and holds an overseas amateur qualification or licence.
This Class Licence authorises operation of the amateur station for 90 days after each entry to Australia. If the operation starts or finishes more than 90 days after the overseas amateur enters Australia, the operation must be authorised by an apparatus licence. An apparatus licence is issued under Part 3.3 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992. An overseas amateur may choose to operate for the first 90 days under this Class Licence, but would need to apply for an apparatus licence if they desire to continue operating after those 90 days.
This Class Licence sets out conditions that apply when a person visiting from overseas wants to operate an amateur station under this licence. For example, this Class Licence provides for five different levels of operation. Each of these levels relates to a specific
level of overseas qualification or overseas licence. Information about which level of operation applies to a person’s qualification or licence can be found in the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s policy information paper entitled ‘Apparatus Licensing – Amateurs Visiting Australia’.This Class Licence applies to Australian territories in the same way that it applies to mainland Australia.
If a person claims to operate an amateur station under this Class Licence, the person must meet all the relevant conditions. Otherwise, their operation of an amateur station is unauthorised and will be covered by the offence provisions of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

the person must produce the evidence.
(2) If the person does not produce the evidence, the person is not authorised to operate an amateur station under this Class Licence.
(3) Subsection (2) ceases to apply when the person produces the evidence.
Note This section does not require people to present the relevant evidence to an inspector before they begin operating an amateur station under this Class Licence. While operating the station, however, it is advisable that they have this evidence with them.
Communication by an amateur station
(1) An amateur station may be operated under this Class Licence to transmit a message solicited from a third party only if the message relates to a disaster and subsections (2) and (3) are complied with.
(2) An amateur station must not be operated to transmit a message on behalf of a third party:
(a) enabling any person to obtain a financial gain or other reward, directly or indirectly; or
(b) relating to the commercial or financial affairs of any person.
Note 1 Subject to the conditions in subsections (2) and (3), an amateur station operated under this Class Licence may be used to transmit messages on behalf of a third party to another amateur station including an amateur station in another country.
Note 2 If another country permits the transmission or reception of messages on behalf of third parties only in a case of emergency or disaster relief, the ACMA recommends that a person operating an amateur station in accordance with this Class Licence respect any such restrictions applying to amateur stations in that country.
(3) An amateur station must not be operated to transmit a message to an amateur station in a foreign country if the transmission would be inconsistent with the Australian table of allocations in the spectrum plan or a footnote to that table.

(3) An amateur station must not be operated solely or principally for:
(a) the automatic reception of:
(i) radio signals from amateur stations; or
(ii) signals from a public telecommunications network; or
(b) the automatic retransmission by radiocommunications of:
(i) the radio signals mentioned in subparagraph (a) (i); or
(ii) the signals mentioned in subparagraph (a) (ii).
Note Such automatic reception and automatic retransmission means that a station is operating as an amateur repeater station. An amateur repeater station is authorised under an apparatus licence, not this Class Licence. Apparatus licences are issued under a process outlined in Part 3.3 of the Act.
Interference
(1) An amateur station must not be operated if its operation causes harmful interference to radiocommunications.
(2) An amateur station must not be operated if its operation causes interference to radiocommunications services because of transmissions that:
(a) vary from the nominal frequency; or
(b) have key impact emissions as a side‑effect of morse code transmission; or
(c) contain harmonics; or
(d) make other inessential emissions.
(3) As far as is reasonably practicable, an amateur station must be erected, fixed, placed and used in a way that avoids interference to the efficient and convenient working of other stations.
(4) An amateur station must not be operated if its emissions include spurious emissions not attenuated below the power of the wanted emission supplied to the antenna transmission line:
(a) on frequencies not greater than 30 MHz — by 43 + 10 log(PEP)dB or 50 dB, whichever is less; and
(b) on frequencies above 30 MHz — by 43 + 10 log(P)dB or 70 dB, whichever is less.
(5) For subsection (4):
PEP means peak envelope power in watts supplied to the antenna transmission line.
P means mean power in watts supplied to the antenna transmission line.
Use of call signs
(1) An amateur station must not be operated unless a qualified person operating the station identifies the station by using the call sign, mentioned in paragraph section 6 (2) (e), preceded by the letters VK.
(2) Subject to subsection (4), if an amateur station is being operated to make a single transmission, the qualified person must:
(a) transmit the call sign of any station being called or communicated with, followed by the amateur station’s call sign, followed by the word ‘portable’, and followed by the location of the amateur station; and
(b) transmit the information mentioned in paragraph (a):
(i) by voice (using the English language), by visual image or by an internationally recognised code; and
(ii) at the beginning and end of the transmission; and
(iii) for a transmission that lasts more than 10 minutes — at least once during each period of 10 minutes in the transmission.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), if an amateur station is being operated to make a series of transmissions to a station with which communications have been established, the qualified person must:
(a) transmit the call sign of any station being called or communicated with, followed by the amateur station’s call sign, followed by the word ‘portable’, and followed by the location of the amateur station; and
(b) transmit the information mentioned in paragraph (a):
(i) by voice (using the English language), by visual image or by an internationally recognised code; and
(ii) at the beginning and end of the series; and
(iii) for a series that lasts more than 10 minutes — at least once during each period of 10 minutes in the series.
(4) If a network of amateur stations is participating in emergency services operations or related training exercises:
(a) a qualified person operating an amateur station in the network must ensure that arrangements are in place for at least one person operating a station in that network to transmit the call signs of the stations participating in the network; and
(b) each of the call signs must be transmitted:
(i) by voice (using the English language), by visual image or by an internationally recognised code; and
(ii) at the beginning and end of transmissions; and
(iii) for a transmission or series of transmissions that lasts more than 30 minutes — at least once during each period of 30 minutes.
Transmission of carrier waves and encoded signals
(1) An amateur station must not be operated in a way that causes a carrier wave to be emitted, unless the wave:
(a) is subjected to intelligible modulation; or
(b) is emitted during a brief test or an adjustment.
(2) An amateur station must not be operated to transmit a signal encoded so that the meaning of the signal is unclear unless the signal is sent during intercommunication for the purpose of emergency services operations or related training exercises.
Retransmission of other amateur stations’ transmissions
An amateur station must not be operated to retransmit another amateur station’s transmission unless:
(a) permission to retransmit has been given by the person operating the other amateur station; and
(b) as part of the transmission:
(i) the call sign of the other amateur station is transmitted at the beginning and end; and
(ii) it is identified as a retransmission of a transmission of another amateur station.

(2) An amateur station (the first station) must not be operated to transmit a signal to another amateur station, through an amateur repeater station linked to a further amateur repeater station, unless the person operating the first station is otherwise permitted by this Class Licence to transmit on the output frequencies of the further amateur repeater station.
Note Regardless of the frequencies of a repeater link, this Class Licence does not prohibit a qualified person from using an amateur station to transmit a signal over a repeater link.
(3) An amateur station (the first station) must not be operated to transmit a signal to another amateur station, through a further amateur station, unless the person operating the first station is otherwise permitted by this Class Licence to transmit on the output frequencies of the further station.
Connection to a public telecommunications network
(1) An amateur station must not be connected, directly or indirectly, to a public telecommunications network unless the person operating the amateur station takes reasonable measures to ensure that only persons who have a qualification or licence appropriate for operating the station can access the station to transmit a signal to another amateur station.
(2) An amateur station must not be operated to connect a person (the connected person) from a public telecommunications network to an amateur transmitter unless the person operating the station has advised the connected person to the effect that:
(a) transmissions made by the connected person may be overheard by other persons; and
(b) the connected person may choose to disconnect rather than proceed with the connection to the transmitter.
Note It is an offence under subsection 7 (1) of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 to intercept a communication passing over a telecommunications system. Under that Act, interception means listening to or recording the communication when it is passing over the system without the knowledge of the person making the communication.
