CITC Announces Amendment of Provisions for Issuing and Renewing Amateur Radio Licenses

The Communications and Information Technology Commission announced the amendment of the provisions related to issuing and renewing amateur radio licenses and individual and shared amateur radio station licenses under the Amateur Radio Service Regulations, with the aim of facilitating the procedures for issuing and renewing these licenses.

Amateur radio is one of the oldest hobbies in the use of communication technologies, and it enjoys widespread popularity among those interested in wireless technology worldwide. Individuals interested in this hobby use a wireless device for purposes of self-training, communication, or technical research, and amateur radio operators must obtain a license to use wireless devices from the Commission in order to practice this hobby.
