FCC to update third-party traffic list to include all UK stations

The FCC is expected to soon update its Web site listing of countries with which US Amateur Radio Service licensees may exchange third-party traffic (ie, messages on behalf of a party other than the control operator). The updated list will reflect the addition of all amateur stations in the United Kingdom (the UK, the Channel Islands, including Guernsey and Jersey, Great Britain, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland). The change is already effective. Section 97.115 of the FCC's Amateur Radio Service rules regulates communications from a station's control operator (first party) to another amateur station's control operator (second party) on behalf of another person (third party). No FCC-regulated amateur station may transmit messages for a third party to any amateur station located within the jurisdiction of any foreign government not on the FCC list or whose administration has not made specific arrangements with the US to allow amateur stations to transmit international communications on behalf of third parties. The prohibition regarding third-party traffic does not apply to messages for any third party who is eligible to be the control operator of the station.
