2b.1 Recall the Radio Equipment must not be used for business or advertising purposes.
All Radio Amateur (including Intermediate Licensees) may only communicate with other licensed amateurs
Radio Equipment cannot be used for business or advertising purposes. For example a radio Amateur cannot:
1. be used by a taxi company to arrange pickups. 2. advertise kits made by an amateur to other amateurs.
2b.2 Recall that the Licensee may pass messages on behalf of a User
Service and may permit a member of the User Service to use the Radio
Equipment to send messages.
Recall the identity of the Users Services.
Note: It is only necessary to remember the User Services named in clause 17(1)(qq) and that the Police, Fire, Ambulance and Coastguard are included in the ‘Category 1 and 2 responders’ along with local government.
Radio Equipment may be used:
1. By a member of a User Service 2. By a Radio Amateur on behalf of a User Service to pass on messages during an exercise or incident
"User Service" means the British Red
Cross, St John Ambulance, the St Andrew's Ambulance Association, the
Women’s Royal Voluntary Service, the Salvation Army, any Government Department, any ‘Category 1’ responder, and any Category 2 responder such as Police, Fire, Ambulance and Coastguard
Location and identification
2c.1 Recall that the Licensee must transmit the Callsign printed in the
Licence during CQ calls, when establishing communication and every 15
minutes during long periods of transmission.
Location and identification
A licencee must send his/her callsign during CQ calls, when
establishing a contact (e.g. calling another station) and every
15minutes during a long QSO. Whenever the frequency is changed, at the
beginning of transmission on the new frequency. He does not have to
send the callsign
every time transmission is passed to another station. A licensee must use
the
same mode of transmission as the main QSO and on the same frequency
that is being used for communication. So if the QSO is carried out in
SSB then the call sign must be sent in SSB. If the QSO is in Morse Code
then the call sign must be sent in Morse code. Pretty obvious! However
it is possible, but not legal to have the station automatically sent its
callsign in Morse Code when the station switches to transmit and
receive.
2c.2 Recall the meaning of ‘Main Station Address’, ‘Alternative Address’ ‘Temporary Location’ and ‘Mobile’.
The ‘Main Station Address’, is the one written on the licence
A ‘Temporary Location’ is one that does not have a postcode, but is not the main Address of the Licensee.
An Alternative Location is one that has a post code, but is not the main address. For example a house that is being visited. ‘Mobile’ means moving. For example in a vehicle, on a bicycle, on foot.
2c.3 Recall that the Licence does not permit operation from an aircraft
or from vessel on the seaward side of the low-water line as marked on
official charts. Exemptions for the Intermediate licence UK Intermediate licence holders (In fact all licence holders) are not allowed to operate from an aircraft. UK Intermediate licence holders are not allowed to operate from vessel on the seaward side of the low-water line as marked on
official charts.
2c.4 Recall that other Administrations (foreign countries) do not routinely recognise the Intermediate Licence.
Intermediate and foundation licence holders are not allowed to operate in foreign countries. The operation of Amateur Radio Equipment in
other countries usually requires a Full Licence.
