Mexico Ham Radio Info

[Azrocks]

I've been researching what is involved and what is available and now recently there are posts that have been talking about Ham radio operation / legality in Mexico. I figure it would be good to have a place to post up information.

Anybody that has real world experience on the actual conditions of ham radio operation in Mexico would be helpful. I would be interested to see for example how things are done during the Baja 1000 and such.

This is a copy of my post from earlier today in another thread.

I'm doing a little research on ham radio operation in Mexico. There is a reciprocal agreement with Mexico. There are 3 types of reciprocal operating authority, they are 1) a CEPT license; 2) an IARP; and 3) a reciprocal permit. The Mexico reciprocal agreement is type #3. This means we must apply for and get a permit from Mexico to legally transmit there like Socalfj said earlier in this thread.

The ARRL website has a lot of useful info for getting the permit.

Since I do not have a license yet, I would not try to operate a Mexican repeater unless it was an emergency, but I do carry the freqs with me and I do monitor.
