I expect all EI licences say the same. Maybe it has been changed to accommodate recripocal licensing arrangements with other countries that specify Radio Amateur Licence. The main point being that anyone can interwork between EI and the rest of the world, so by the same logic I do not think there would be a problem in the UK working an experimental type station in the USA or elswhere. The problem might be at your end if it specifically states only inter PART 15 contacts. So you take a chance or you dont!!!!!!!! If we were all closed down would it make that much difference!! de Mal/G3KEV > > >
