Online responses suggesting the Amendment of
Indian Wireless Telegraph (Amateur Service)
Rules 1978

A submission form was incorporated in the URL: http://www.geocities.com/vu2msy_99/debate.htm   to collect suggestions regarding the amendment of Indian Wireless Telegraph (Amateur Service) Rules 1978. There were approx. 108 responses till 05.05.2001. Considering the fact that not many of the Indian radio amateurs are also active in the Internet, the suggestions (in YES & NO format) /opinions received through this on-line submission form (in the Internet) may also be considered as a reflection of the over-all opinion of the entire community of amateur radio operators in the country. This page contains a compilation of the online responses received from the Indian hams/ham enthusiasts.We would like to thank all the ham radio operators/ham radio enthusiasts who had sent their responses!...AND request all those who have not yet sent their suggestion to continue sending ...Let this effort be further mobilzed!

RESULT OF OPINION POLL (UPTO 24.04.2001)

Suggestions/opinions
(Please refer to the detailed version of the online form available at:
http://www.geocities.com/vu2msy_99/debate.htm)

% of hams/ham enthusiasts who supported this opinion
(YES)

1. Ham Radio Licensing should be decentralized. At present the Wireless Monitoring Stations are empowered to conduct the licencing examination and declare the result. The Wireless Monitoring Stations (where the licencing examination is conducted) should also be empowered to issue licence just after the declaration of the examination result. 95.2%
2. The necessity of a “mobile permission” should be eliminated in case of amateur radio operation in HF, VHF & UHF bands. 100%
3. Amateur Licence should not be denied to law abiding citizens living in India’s North Eastern States (Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh etc.), Punjab & Jammu & Kashmir . 95.2%
4. Additional bands (in HF, VHF & UHF) should be released to the Indian hams. 100%
5. Issue life time licence. We support the suggestions made by ARSI in case of Rule 12. 92.85%
6. Allow Shifting of Club Stations for workshop/demo/training 96.42%
7. Allot at least one HF band (10m) to Grade-II (Restricted) licence holder. 88%
8. Minimize the Morse Code test speed to 5 WPM for all the grades 92.85%
9. Increase the legal power limit of amateur transmissions 97.6%
10. Legalise digital modes of communication 100%
11. Reduce the minimum age requirement for a licence to 10 years in case of Grade-II and 12 years in case of the other higher grades. 92.8%%

(Comments) Import Restrictions should be eased. I don't say that it is very difficult now, but they can liberalise like other electronic goods and encourage foreign brands to market/sell their equipment in India at subsidised rates so that ham enthusiasts can make their use and get a taste of various technologies.

(Comments) ---------------------------------------------------------------
I do agree with most of the suggestions given by you but we people are not trying for the betterment of the condition of the equipments since even if a person gets a license there are lots of hurdles in getting the equipment we all shall agree that the number of equipment in India both HF , VHF and miscellaneous others is abysmally low compared to that of other countries we should try to soften the import policies of the GOI . some of the suggestions about the equipments are-
1. The equipments should be allowed to import duty free
2. The equipments should be allowed to import in the form of baggage by any license holder.
3. a lots of older equipments of all kinds are treated as junk in japan/usa/europe and are available at quite a cheap price. GOI should allow to import the junk so that the equipment position can be smoothened in India.

(Comments) It seems frivolous to increase power on the bands when the increase has already been permitted by default. The power level of 150W DC INPUT means an effective output of about 75w. But all radios imported are 240W DC INPUT!! Also many hams use amplifiers without sanction & claim huge antenna arrays for the big signal!! HAMS need to learn to be more honest.

(Comments) Thanks for taking steps to rectify anomalies at-least now.
-vhf mobile should be made automatic without any special permission.
-licence without code can not be accepted. like wise restricted grade should be abolished. It is a real punishment hearing these restricted grade fellows operating on vhf esp. on repeaters.

(Comments) Wow! I am so delighted to see something of this kind being worked out in my home country! Good job! I have a couple of points to raise. First is of HF mobile operations. Why restrict within 200km?
I have operated from different corners of US using different district identifiers. Never had a problem. Why here as long as the amateur identifies his aprox. location? I guess our authorities are a bit fussy about it. In W land applying for a reciprocal is a paperless procedure. Cant we have the same in our country? Importing radio equipments have/and will be a nightmare for all radio hams.
Why such a big fuss when we gladly offer our assistance in the event of a national emergency? I could have understood their logic if we had indegenous radio equipment manufacturers back home, like for cars. Last but not the least, reducing the morse requirement to 5 wpm.
A concerned but proud Indian amateur living overseas!

India is now facing threats both external and internal. It is only natural for the government to take all necessary precautions to increase security. When the issue of Ham Licence is concerned, a police clearance Certificate issued by the S.I. or O.C. of the Police Station where the applicant for the Ham licence stays will be adequate. One should realise that this is the procedure involved when passports are issued. The time delay is also considerably less when the issue of police clearance certificate is faster.
Decentralisation of licensing authority will also help. Let there be four Zones in India where offices for the issue of ham licences be located

(Comments) get ham radio rid of bureaucracy. also throw career hams out . people
who go to earthquakes and disaster areas for emergency and relief work later go with their begging bowls to various ministries . kick them out of ham radio and ask them to go to commercial frequencies. they are bringing bad name to the hobby. let all hams be united on this. ARSI should never merge with any other organisation.

There are a lot of Unused prefixes that could be allocated to Amateurs.
My suggestion is to allocate different prefixes to different States. For Example, VU6 can be TN, VV6 can be Kerala. and Islands should get different Prefixes depending on the region.. Eg. Vypin Island - 8T6. This will help the process of decentralizing the licencing as one prefix will be handled by only one monitoring station. This could also help the DXing enthusiasts and ARSI could organize contests easily.

It is quite redundant to have Morse code requirement to get the licence unless except one is going to use only that. If it is well known the the equipment used will be a voice transmitting one, instead of gradually phasing out Morse, it needs to be completely abolished.

1.Qualifying examinations should be tougher so that the hobby is pursued by talented and genuinely interested persons only. The spread of ham radio has nothing to do with numbers.
2. Import of readymade equipment need not be encouraged. Rather components should be allowed to be imported freely. This will encourage motivation for the right people.

(Comments)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank ARSI for their efforts in representing our long-standing
grievances. I am confident that WPC will certainly look into our collective
appeal for the benefit & growth of Hams and our country.


1) In response to “NO” to LIFE-TIME LICENSE:
Issuing a lifetime license would lead to a proliferation of defunct and inactive
licenses, especially due to causes like old age and death. In order to mitigate
this risk, it would be good to have a longer licensing term of 10 years
(instead
of initial 7 years period and so on). In addition to this, the license renewal
process should be made simple so that there is no burden on either the HAM
Operator or the WPC in performing renewals.

2) Revision on IMPORT POLICY:
The current import policy is flawed, in that the elapsed time between applying
for a duty concession and the receipt of the import license is indeterminate.
More often the import license is not given in time for the travel of the HAM
Operator, leading to an exorbitant duty levy by the Customs authorities. It
would be good if the current policy were modified to allow a HAM Operator to get
a duty concession on production of his/her valid operator's license along with
the radio equipment at the entry port.

away with especially in the present era
where various other equally efficacious mode of communication is in practice.

First three suggestions for ARSI to lobby/represent at finance ministry:
1.Hasselfree import of ham equipments...if possible 0% import duty
2.Why this C.V.D.?CVD is in lieu excise duty when there is no indigeneous
manufacture of ham radios what for this CVD is levied?
3.Allow import of used rigs..

and now for amendment of IWT (Amateur Service)Rules:
4.why not have a category of a code free licence?
5.online renewal of licences...or atleast provide easy downloading/submission of
various forms from/to wpc..

1) De-centralization for issuing licenses is probably not a good
idea in India, since it will cause cause much more confusion and
chaos without a centralized single database for the licenses issued.
Instead of creating such confusion, putting a bit more resources into
the existing license issuing admin. might help. Regarding delay in
police verification: Rules should be simplified so that anyone
holding a valid Indian Passport is issued license immediately once a
report regarding successful completion test requirements is received
by the licensing authority Getting a passport is a relatively
painless process now.(in such a case, copy of passport should also be
included in the list of documents required to be submitted when one
applies for license).

2) In India each state/region/combination of states should be issued
its own prefix. Operation from places other than the location to
which the license is issued should be automatic/paperless. (Persons
holding Indian Amateur Radio License can operate anywhere from USA
without informing anyone or getting any permission just by adding the
required prefix - like w8/vu2lid. I wonder why I need to go through
complex time consuming paperwork to operate like that from my own
country.)

3) No-code license if introduced should be clearly identifiable on
the air and should be only for restricted portions of higher HF bands
(like 10m), with relatively low power levels like 10W. Code speed
requirements can be reduced to 5WPM. It should not be eliminated.

4) There can be situations where more power than what is already
authorized by the rules is desirable (like during emergency
communications etc.). Due to advances in technology and operating the
general trend is to use less power to achieve the same thing. Even
EME is possible now a days with 5W (yes that is five watts !), with
relatively simple antenna systems.

5) Regarding digital modes: The number of "digital-modes" available
for operation keeps on increasing every day... The provision to
"legalize" the modes should be done (I am not sure if this is really
necessary, since These are not really "new modes" in the conventional
sense + Everyone is using it already !) in such a way that
experimentation and use on digital modes that come up in future is
NOT restricted by introducing these rule changes.

1) mobile operation should be an automatic eligibility for all categories of
licenses.
2) there should be a timelimit of 3months for the state police to submit
verification reports for enabling regional monitoring stations to
permit/recommend issue of licence

Ham satellites should be provided by our govt. No excise should be collected on imported sets. Ham sets should be made cheap
