Since Senegal and Bissau-Guinea are not part of the CEPT, you need to obtain a licence to operate from these countries. We provide full administration of your licences, but (as usual in Africa) it's a very long procedure, we have to commence well before the planned expedition.

In Senegal, foreigners get a temporary licence, usually valid for six months. The default callsign is 6W/homecall, but shorter, 6V2xx callsigns are also available, for contests, for example. We need the following scanned documents:

  • Licence
  • Passport
  • Handwritten letter in French (like this example)

If you want to bring along your own equipment, we also need its technical details.

In Bissau-Guinea, you are issued a permanent licence, valid for five years, by default, your callsign will be J5xxx, but, like in Senegal, shortened callsigns with two, or even one letter suffix are available as well. Required documents:

  • Licence
  • Passport

If you want to bring along your own equipment, we also need its technical details.
