From the MARL (Malta Amateur Radio League) site :
"Malta implements CEPT Recommendation TR 61-01 and no separate license is
needed if you have joined CEPT"

Hello Rik.

Thank you for the link.

Interesting.
I've never heard anyone using the CEPT agreed identification of (e.g.) 9H/G0MRF.
Up to now locals had 9H1 while visitors were issued 9H3.
It may be possible that both systems are running in parallel but it seems unlikely. Or, perhaps no-one in government told the officials at the "wireless office"

There are strict customs restrictions on some amateur radio receivers but these are essentially a limitation on wideband VHF/UHF receive to prevent the monitoring of military / police communication.

I'll e-mail the malta club and try to clarify the 136k situation. There are certainly some good LF sites available.
