For the first time since 1956,
amateurs in Tunisia are being granted personal licenses and individual call
signs. According to Southgate Amateur Radio News, the first three licenses were
recently issued to 3V8HB, 3V8MN and 3V1MB. Until now, Tunisian hams were
allowed to operate only from an authorized club station. The process for
obtaining an individual license is reportedly quite involved.
