The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) provided a draft document on the Spectrum Use Regulation for Amateur Radio Services. This document informs how to obtain an Amateur Radio license and/or operate an Amateur Radio Station correctly. 

CITC divides Amateur Radio License into two categories: 

1. Full License: Allows the Radio Amateur to transmit and receive on all the frequency bands allowed for the Amateur Service in the KSA
2. Foundation License: Allows the Radio Amateur to only transmit on frequency bands above 30 MHz

The maximum allowed level of spurious emissions relative to the transmitted power for transmitters using frequencies:

• ≤ 30 MHz should be 40 dB less than the average power in the necessary transmission bandwidth, provided that this power does not exceed 50 mW
• > 30 MHz should be 60 dB less than the average power in the necessary transmission bandwidth, provided that this power does not exceed 1 mW

CITC released the document for public consultation. In the document, CITC submits 15 questions to the interested parties regarding the content of each section with regards to: 

• spectrum demand and released plans
• type approval procedure for the Amateur Radio Station equipment
• the license term and renewal as well as the license revocation and cancellation conditions
• the issue on sharing of Amateur Radio Stations
• the application procedure and requirements of the Amateur Radio Test

Comments are being accepted until August 7, 2022.
