-====== Regulations ======
-To prevent interference between different users, the generation and transmission of radio waves is strictly:
-  * **regulated** by national laws and
-  * **coordinated** by an international body called the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).((See: [[wp>Radio_spectrum |Radio Spectrum]]))
-====== A Few Canadian Rules ======
-  * [[http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/h_sf01709.html |ISED]] regulates the **amateur radio service** as defined in the **Radiocommunications Regulations** derived from the **Radiocommunication Act**.
-  * Although the Amateur Certificate is **free** and **valid for life**, you must **notify ISED of any change of address**.
-  * The certificate must be **retained at the station** (at the **address provided**) and an operator may be asked to produce it to an inspector within **48 hours**.  However the holder of an Amateur Radio Certificate can operate an amateur radio **anywhere in Canada**.
-  * There is **no age limit** to hold an Amateur Radio Certificate with Basics Qualification, but you must have a **valid Canadian address**.
-  * Payments for third-party message is also not allowed.
-  * Offensive language, business-related conversations, music, deceptive signals, encrypted, coded, or secret messages, **harmful** interference, are not allowed on ham bands.  In other words, only conversations of a personal or technical nature are allowed.
-  * Broadcasts to the general public, or communications with non-ham are also not allowed on ham bands except if it is required for the immediate safety of life of individuals or the immediate protection of property.  The only non-emergency one-way transmissions allowed are from **beacons**.
-  * In emergency situations, a ham operator can use any means of radio communications necessary, including transmitting outside the ham bands and at any power output.
-If you have an Amateur Radio Certificate with Basics Qualification:((See RBR-4, Sec 6, p.2, and RIC-3, Sec 5.3, p.13 and RIC-3, Sec 6, p.15))
-  * You are allowed to let your friend who doesn't have a license talk on your radio as long as you are there to operate and control the station.
-  * But if a foreign station breaks in to talk to your friend, **have your friend wait until you determine from the foreign station if their administration permits third-party traffic**.  Canada doesn't expressly forbids other countries to pass third party traffic to us, but the other country might.
-  * The following organizations are **not** considered third-party:
-    * Canadian Forces Affiliate Radio Service (CFARS)
-    * United States Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS)
-  * Your friend is allowed to listen without you present, but not transmit.
-  * You are **not** allowed to install, place in operation, modify, repair, maintain, or permit the operation of the radio apparatus on behalf of your friend.
-If you have an Amateur Radio Certificate and are using another amateur's stations,
-  * **both of you** are responsible for the proper operation of the station.
-  * you can only operate your friend's station to the lesser of the two certifications.
