For those of you living in countries not on this list who may be asking:
"What is CEPT T/R 61-01?"
CEPT T/R 61-01 is a protocol whereby national licensing authorities
have agreed to recognise amateur radio licences issued by other CEPT
T/R 61-01 signatory national licensing authorities.
"What benefit is this to individual radio amateurs?"
Licensed radio amateurs in CEPT signatory countries no longer have to
go through the lengthy business of applying for reciprocal licences in
advance of travelling to other CEPT signatory countries.
It is a requirement that the CEPT licence shall be drafted in the
national language (of the issuing authority) and in German, English and
French. Here in the United Kingdom we are issued with multilingual
annual validation document printed in those three languages.
We are permitted to take this licence with us as we move, as visitors,
between CEPT signatory countries and operate our amateur radio equipment
with minimal bureaucratic interest.
"What restrictions are attached to CEPT operating?"
CEPT Class 1 is for all appropriate amateur bands authorized in the
country where the station is to be operated.
Note: This is taken to be those bands available in the
country of the issuing authority.
CEPT Class 2 is for all appropriate amateur bands above 30MHz that are
authorized in the country where the station is to be operated.
Where there are differences between the host country and the home
country regulations, the amateur has to operate in such a way as not
to contravene the regulations of either country.
CEPT licence protocol is intended for short term visits, not for
permanent residence.
