In Canada Why making simple things over complicated?
6. Communications on behalf of Third Parties
International third-party communication in case of emergencies or disaster relief is expressly permitted unless specifically prohibited by a foreign administration.
Any foreign administration may permit its amateur stations to communicate on behalf of third parties without having to enter into any special arrangements with Canada.
Canada does not prohibit international communications on behalf of third parties.
We have to assume the other station operator conducting a third parties QSO is fully aware of his/her country restrictions regarding third parties traffic.
Just to pointed out this peculiar rules section:
3. Frequency Bands and Qualifications An operator of an amateur station may operate within the frequency bands set out in the attached Schedules I, II and III in accordance with the operator´s qualifications identified for the specified band.
And the schedules only mentioned Frequency Band Maximum bandwidth Operating provisions Operator qualifications
There is no sub band allocation or mode/modulation restriction. It's a free for all but our national and provincial associations ask we respect the old modulation sub bands allocation...But it is only suggested to avoid interfering with our next neighbours and other DX country.
Can i pointed out how silly theses call sign struggle on ISS can appears down here...but we respect the right to be silly even in space... Ridicule is even present in space.
Why not choosing a neutral international space station call sign as ISS-1 easy, simple and mature amateur operator will have to set aside their "nationalism"... But the hard part to find is maturity...
I don't know if they will have to use different toilet paper brand depending in which module they will read their news papers... as we all know money have no odours!
