The Radio Society of Bermuda

Information for visiting operators:

We always enjoy meeting new friends from around the world and Bermuda is a great place in which to live, for that very reason.  In order to make your vacation to our island a special one, the Department of Telecommunications offers a reciprocal operating license at no cost to the visiting ham.  It's easy to obtain, as well, by any of the following three ways:

1)  Email a copy of your license, along with the dates of your visit and the address at which you will be staying (if traveling by cruise ship or sailboat, just say so).  The Email address is:  bevans@gov.bm

2)  Fax a copy of your license, along with the dates of your visit and the address at which you will be staying, to (441) 295-1462.

3)  You can also walk into their offices, in the city of Hamilton, and present your information in person.   The process usually only takes about 15 minutes or less.

At this time, only those operators who are General Class, and above, may operate on the island.  It is also important to note you will be restricted to 100 watts of power during your stay.  We encourage you to use our local repeater systems.  Our main repeater is on 146.34 / 146.94 and it has the option to take advantage of IRLP.  If this repeater is not operational during your visit, please check out the 146.22 / 146.82 repeater as well.
