In this table, links exist for all those countries which we currently have information. In those countries that have them, additional information can be obtained by contacting their IARU Society. Foreign Embassies located in the U.S. are another source of information. Also, be sure to review the document titled Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Operating Amateur Radio Overseas. US military personnel operating under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) can find information at SOFA/Europe and SOFA/Korea.
Some of this information comes from the Licensing Abroad Web site of Veikko Komppa, OH2MCN. Many thanks to Veke, for providing this information to the world-wide amateur community.
