I've just created a blank page. I'm going to give people at least a day to comment on this proposed article before I invest a bunch of time into it. Please send your comments! Andrewjuren 23:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Having thought about it, this article might be better replaced by one titled something like "Amateur radio licensing in the United States", "Amateur radio licensing in Canada", etc. If so, then this page should either be deleted or moved. Andrewjuren 01:12, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I just resuscitated this article, as think there is more than enough material to justify a separate article and pull out some of the more esoteric details from the main amateur radio article.--Kharker 22:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I think this article is a good one, although I do not think that we should create a whole host of separate pages for each nation's take on licensing. E.g., rather than have separate pages for "Amateur radio licensing in the United States," I think we'd be better off having one page for "Amateur Radio licensing" and then have sections for various countries, as people want to add them. So put a section for the United States, etc. If this becomes too unwieldy at some point down the road, we could bump off the largest sections (US, UK, Canada, the major European ones I assume would get big first) to separate pages ... but I don't think it's worthwhile to create a whole bunch of stubs right at the beginning. If you do, I think people will just try to delete or re-merge them back in, and content may be lost. Anyway, aside from that I think the concept is a good one. I did some cleanup and made some small changes. --Kadin2048 02:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Would it be wise to add this? I don't think I would have a problem scanning mine, except maybe blanking out the address, name and such. I think I could do this fairly cleanly. Unless someone doesn't mind displaying thier own license. As of now I think i'd have a problem with that being on a wikipedia. Lenn0r 21:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
