Hi all;
My Mexican license is XE1/AA0AA and my U.S. license (obviously) is AA0AA.
I am not "portable" in Mexico--I can apply to have a portable station (i.e., 2
meters, etc.) but the license only permits operation from my home in Mexico.
It is sort of like the old two-part U.S. licenses with one being the operator's
license and the other the station license. It is probably the same with the
VP9 license.
73,
Scott
