Colombia (HJ-HK)

The United States holds a reciprocal and a third-party traffic agreement with Colombia. The application procedure has a number of crucial steps which may cause some difficulty. The radio society will be happy to assist you with your application.

Liga Colobiana de Radioaficionados (LCRA)

The requirements include the following:

The application must be presented in Spanish at least 60 days prior to the date on which operation is expected to begin.
A photocopy of the original license.
Number and expiration date of a valid passport.
Three photographs, passport size.

As these requirements are subject to change, prospective applicants are urged to contact LCRA well in advance of the planned operation to learn the latest procedures.

All amateur bands available in the U.S. are also available in Colombia. There are no phone bands enforced by the government, but phone operators avoid using the bottom 100 kHz of the HF bands (40kHz on 40 meters) by gentleman's agreement in order to leave these portions clear for CW. The power limit is 2000 watts PEP.
