EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF CHILE CONSTITUTING A RECIPROCAL AMATEUR RADIO OPERATING AGREEMENT

I

The Secretary of State for External Affairs of Canada to the Ambassador of Chile

OTTAWA, June 23, 1980

No. EBS-1906

Excellency,

I have the honour to propose that an Agreement be concluded between the Government of Canada and the Government of Chile concerning the reciprocal granting of authorization to permit licensed amateur radio operators of either country to operate their stations in the other country during their stay there. It is proposed that an agreement with respect to this matter be concluded as follows:

1. An individual who is licensed by his Government as an amateur radio operator and who operates an amateur radio station licensed by such Government shall be permitted by the other Government, on a reciprocal basis and subject to the conditions stated below, to operate such a station in the territory of the other Government.

2. The individual who is licensed by his Government as an amateur radio operator shall, before being permitted to operate his station as provided for in paragraph 1, obtain from the appropriate administrative agency of the other Government an authorization for that purpose.

3. The appropriate administrative agency of each Government may issue an authorization, as provided for in paragraph 2, under such conditions and terms as it may prescribe, including the right of cancellation at the convenience of the issuing Government at any time.

If the Government of Chile accepts the foregoing conditions, I have the honour to propose that this Note, which is authentic in English and French, and your reply to that effect shall constitute an Agreement between the Government of Chile and the Government of Canada which shall enter into force on the date of your reply and shall remain in force until termination upon sixty days' notice, in writing, by either Government.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
