me...9Z4FC i have mine abt 4 years now but the guy who signed up to do the exam with no longer does that. I think your best bet is to go to the boy scouts headquarters in St. Anns they have a station there and i believe its the base of the Trinidad andTobago Amateur Radio Services they should be able to help you

The Telecom Authority of Trinidad & Tobago has published the final version of the Framework for the Authorization of Amateur Radio Services.

http://www.tatt.org.tt/ddocs/Amateur_Framework.pdf

4.4.1 Amateur Radio certification requirement for licensing
Currently there are no local certification bodies for Amateur Radio Services in Trinidad and Tobago. In order to facilitate the licensing of Amateur Radio Services, the Authority will accept certification from certain foreign institutions. Currently the Authority accepts certification from the RSGB, the ARRL and Industry Canada Amateur Radio certification. These international certifications must be valid and active at the time of application to be considered by the Authority. The Authority will continue to review certification from internationally recognised institutions and will maintain a list of accepted amateur radio certifications which will be posted on the Authority’s website

Amateur Radio Services Framework Guideline
Nationals and/or residents who hold Amateur Radio certificates from foreign institutions that meet the Authority’s approval and appear on the Authority’s approved list may apply for a Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Radio Licence.

Any tuner with an ameteur radio license willing to make an easy $200. Just to clear two walkie talkies for me. Hit me a P.M if interested.

I had brought in some via skybox many years ago.
Got seized cause I don't kno what I doing.
Contacted tatt concerning it. they gave me a letter, I can't remember for sure but I don't think they charged me for it. Gave the letter to the sky box and normal business after that.

So right now it in customs Piarco. I went TATT to inquire and they told me I have to write an exams before I get the License. For me is too much run around. Is either I juss leave it there to rot or pay somebody a lil change to get it clear for me. If I knew was all this run around I would of bought the ones selling in Pricemart.

Yup, apparently the ones I bought was over some wattage hence needed an Ameteur radio Licence.
