Sayah said, "All Amateur Radio operators in Iraq who [blue][i][b]carry a valid Iraqi license will be able to use their radios according to regulations of IARU Region 1 and the IARS." [/b][/i][/blue]Amateur Radio activity in Iraq was suspended in March of this year, with the suspension affecting both Iraqi citizens as well as any foreigners -- including military personnel and contractors -- who have been on the air from Iraq. The request to halt all ham radio activity and the issuance of licenses in Iraq originated with a letter from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as part of a new security plan, Sayah said.
