[CQ-Contest] [DX-NEWS] 9L License

[PY2HS - Claudio]

Hi, Khos!

Long life to you and to the Mongolian Hams!

1) This is the address and Diretory composition of SLARS
(from IARU list: www.iaru-r1.org/Member%20Societies.htm):

SLARS - Sierra Leone Amateur Radio Society
PO Box 10,  Freetown, Sierra Leone
Phone: + 232  22-3335
Presidente: Cassandra Davies - 9LYL (appears in the 09Mar/2003 list, but not 
in 23Feb/2005 list)
Secretary: Wiiliam Sawyer - 9L1WS (appers in both lists)
IARU Liaison: Alfred Koroma - 9L1AK (in both lists)


2) In the ARRLWeb 
(www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/io/recip-info_p.html)
I find this:

Sierra Leone (9L)
As of fall 1994 the political situation in Sierra Leone is tenuous. The 
current government does honor the reciprocal operating agreement with the 
U.S. According to Cassandra Davies, 9L1YL, who is the licensing coordinator 
for Sierra Leone, you should apply well in advance of arriving, but actual 
permission to operate will not be concluded until you arrive in country.

A formal letter of application should be made. In the letter, request a 
license under reciprocity. A letter attesting to your character signed by 
the chief of police or your clergy will probably help expedite things. Make 
primary application to:


  Managing Director
  Sierra Leone National Telecom Co.
  PO Box 15
  Freetown, Sierra Leone
Send a copy of the entire packet to:


  Permanent Secretary
  Dept. of Transport and Communication
  Ministerial Building
  George St.
  Freetown, Sierra Leone
Temporary visitors will be permitted to operate as 9L#/your call. The '#' 
will be the call area you are operating from.

Permanent (9L) calls are being issued onto to nationals and persons who will 
be residing for over a year.

Power: 220 VAC, 50 Hz. Available in Freetown. Spotty at best. Some hotels 
have their own generators.

For more information about Amateur Radio in Sierra Leone, contact the IARU 
Member Society.

(The last actualization of this ARRL page is 94Jan/2005)

That's only the first steps to find what you want.

Good lucky!
