It might be old news but does not alter the conditions that applied at the time. The USA licence discussion is also old news.

This is old news anyway, as Ireland's ComReg changed the licence a few years ago from "experimenters" to "amateur radio"
Almost in step with the rest of the world ;-)

"The Experimenters Radio Licence allows the licensee to participate in what is predominately a hobby, but can be a service also, providing communications for emergencies and disasters when needed. The licensed Experimenter can use their radio equipment to communicate with, for example, another licensed Experimenter in the same town, in the same county or indeed with another Amateur operating from another continent."

Mal, sounds like you are OK in Eire  :-)

If I recall correctly, licences for the Irish Experimenters Service were issued under the ITU regulations applicable to the Amateur Service.

You refer to Amateur to Amateur QSO in your postings. My EI2AE licence is a Radio Experimenters Licence and NOT a Radio Amateur Licence, maybe i should not be having QSO’S with Radio Amateurs.

One has to be flexible and use some imagination when it comes to Radio Experimenters and Radio Amateur Licences, and variations of such Licences
