It's their country.  It's their laws.  Deal with it.

Talk about "ugly Americans"!!!

We in the USA (at least in business and the government) now want to  allow
Mexicans to operate big semi-trailer trucks in the USA, but Americans  can't
operate an SSB transceiver in Mexico in a ham radio contest?  What's  wrong
with this picture?

To Hector, Ramon, and the other XE hams, this is not an attack on you. It
is a comment about the government(s) involved.

Hi   Contesters

In support  to  Ramon's  information, will  like to share the Mexican Ham
radio
Law translated  to English  by   George Warren XE1/N9VIU
you ca find here   http://www.qsl.net/oh2mcn/xelawen.pdf

Will like to explain that CoFeTel  (SCT)  use a guide where explain to them
how
the permits and others  Special  event call need to be issued, but that is
internal   use  and is how they work.

Will like to   headlight   the following articles :
Art. 3      The rights and obligations germane to the licence are personal
and
not  transferable.
--- means only the person in the certificate can  use it, NO  Mexican can
borrow "loan" "Rent" his call to other  person  or use it like CLUB
CALL.-----

Art. 21  Related to  reciprocal permits, the one the visitor do not like
or like
to  IGNORE.

Now here is the information,  there is no more   doubts, very clear, more
specific ask us and with pleasure will
provide the info or where you can ask to get a real answer.

As  Mexican our law is very old, not friendly and very  hard to deal,  a
lot of
Mexican hams want to make a improvement in our law
not only make  changes, we need a better law that allow the ham population
in
Mexico to  grow, not to die only,  we are now  much less that 4000 hams
in  all Mexico with license, active hams much less.

One of the things we  want to change for good is the reciprocal permit, but
we
have no  support from the visitors and the contest sponsors,  they don't
care
they operate where they want  the contest they like in the   way  his idea
of
correct call  they think is correct  or  the call they like   with no
permit and
the contest   sponsor accept the log and later they are the NEW record from
Mexico, the  sponsor do not care  for permits.
ARRL  and CQ  Magazine  What is the fear to ask for permits ?

With  this support to the Mexicans will be difficult  to them  deal with
CoFeTel
and make it easy  to others operate from Mexico  LEGALLY.

A lot of  contesters think that is not big deal  be  Legal in  Banana
Republic,
their log  will be fine and maybe WIN  a CONTEST!!!  and they
continue using his  "compadre station and  his call to support his club
score and
give the mult", nobody will  notice.

Sorry but  Mexico is not Banana Republic and in my case,  the one who
operate
with NO permit or PIRATE  is the same thing  that Cheat,   I don't like
cheaters

The contest sponsor  do not like cheaters but support Illegal operations as
good
for contest,  and also  will keep the  RECORDS for ever in his web
page.(6D2X,
XE2/W5??? etc etc)

After become enemy of a few and  hated for  others, just my point of view,
because I follow rules even if I don't like  at all, just want the others
also
follow the rules  because is the  way to play.
