Indian radio amateur starts petition for licence change
Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:32 AM PDT
https://amsat-uk.org/2020/06/13/indian-radio-amateur-starts-petition-for-licence-change/
Rohit Bokade VU3OIR has started a petition requesting a change to the
Amateur Radio licence in India to permit all grades of licence to use the
amateur radio satellites.
In India holders of the Restricted grade of licence (VU3 prefix) are not
permitted to use amateur radio satellites or communicate with the
International Space Station. The exam requirements for a Restricted licence
are of a similar level to the UK Intermediate.
Rohit says:
Last decade has seen a rapid increase in Amateur Satellites, especially the
ones made by educational institutes. As we are slowly moving towards an era
when Space will be democratized, more and more students are becoming
interested in joining the Amateur radio community.
By keeping the amateur radio service bound to General grade license, we are
preventing a vast majority of restricted grade operators consisting of a
major portion of students yet to get general grade license, from operating
these satellites even if it is possible to operate them within the power
bounds of restricted grade. We request you through this petition to allow
restricted grade operators to operate amateur satellite service within
their emission power bounds.

The two grades of licence in India are General (400w HF, 25w VHF/UHF) and
Restricted (50w HF, 10w VHF/UHF). The exam syllabus and licence regulations
