Third Party Traffic And Reciprocal Agreements
Third Party Traffic And Reciprocal Agreememnts
Overview
To return to the previous page, press the BACK BUTTON of your web browser.
Here is a combined list of countries, by callsign, who have either a Third Party Traffic or
Reciprocal Operating Agreement with the United States...last updated Nov. 3, 2007.
The reason for this is that, occasionally, DX stations may ask you to pass a third-party
message to a friend or relative in the United States. This is OK as long as the United
States has signed an official third-party traffic agreement with that particular
country, or the third party is a licensed amateur. The traffic MUST be non-commercial, and of a
personal, unimportant nature. During an EMERGENCY, the US State Department will
often work out a special temporary agreement with the country involved. But in normal times,
NEVER handle traffic without first making sure it is legally permitted.
Please email me with any
additions, changes, deletions, or corrections. Be sure to put ''third partry traffic'' or
something similar in the subject line, or the messsage will be blocked.

* Since 1970, there has been an informal agreement between the
United Kingdom and the US, permitting Pitcairn and US amateurs to
exchange messages concerning medical emergencies, urgent need for
equipment or supplies, and private or personal matters of island
residents.
US licensed amateurs may operate in the following US territories under
their FCC license: The Northern Marianas Islands, Guam, Johnston Island,
Midway Island, Kure Island, American Samoa, Wake Island, Wilkes Island,
Peale Island, The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
Please note that the Region 2 Division of the International Amateur Radio
Union (IARU) has recommended that international traffic on the 20 and
15-meter bands be conducted on the following frequencies:
14.100-14.150 MHz
14.250-14.350 MHz
21.150-21.200 MHz
21.300-21.450 MHz
The IARU is the alliance of Amateur Radio societies from around the
world; Region 2 comprises member-societies in North, South and Central
America, and the Caribbean.
Note: At the end of an exchange of third-party traffic with a station
located in a foreign country, an FCC-licensed amateur must transmit the
call sign of the foreign station as well as his own call sign.
