1993 No. 177 RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS REGULATIONS - REG 10

General conditions in relation to operation of amateur stations
10. For the purposes of paragraph 107 (1) (f) of the Act, a licence for a
transmitter that forms part of an amateur station is subject to the following
conditions:

   (a)  that the licensee must ensure that transmissions are by the types of
        emission, and wholly contained within the frequency bands, (if any)
        specified under paragraph 107 (1) (g) of the Act in the licence;

   (b)  that, if the licensee makes a single transmission from the station to
        which the transmitter relates, he or she must transmit the call sign
        of any station being called or communicated with by the station to
        which the transmitter relates, followed by the call sign of the
        licensee's station:

        (i)    at the beginning and at the end of the transmission; and

        (ii)   if the duration of the transmission is more than 10 minutes-at
               least once during each period of 10 minutes in the course of
               the transmission;

   (c)  that, if the licensee makes a series of transmissions from the station
        to which the transmitter relates to a station with which
        communications have been established, he or she must transmit:

        (i)    at the beginning and at the end of the series of transmissions
               - the call sign of the station being called or communicated
               with by the station to which the transmitter relates, followed
               by the call sign of the licensee's station; and

        (ii)   if the duration of the series of transmissions is more than 10
               minutes-the call sign of the licensee's station at least once
               during each period of 10 minutes in the course of the series;

   (d)  that the licensee must not, except for brief tests and adjustments,
        cause a carrier wave to be emitted from the transmitter unless that
        wave is subjected to intelligible modulation;

   (e)  that the licensee must employ in the transmitter circuits, devices or
        methods designed to protect radiocommunications services from
        interference due to transmissions that:

        (i)    vary from the nominal frequency; or

        (ii)   have key impact emissions as a side effect of Morse code
               transmission; or

        (iii)  contain harmonics; or

        (iv)   make other unessential emissions;

   (f)  that the licensee must take measures that are reasonably practicable
        to erect, fix, place and use the transmitter in such a manner as to
        avoid interference to the efficient and convenient working of other
        stations.
