NEWS FLASH

Great News for ORRA members

1 ORRA has implemented an Electronic User Authorisation format because we are experiencing numerous problems with the postal delivery service and many members complain that they don’t receive their User Authorisations.

Members are however welcome to collect a User Authorisation Card from our office should they prefer the old format.

2 ORRA has been able to obtain licences for our current VHF frequencies in Namibia and Botswana.

The Communication Regulatory Authorities of both Namibia and Botswana have after protracted negotiations agreed to Licence ORRA to use the same frequencies that we are currently licenced for in South Africa, in their Countries.

This implies that ORRA may authorise its members to use the ORRA license for their VHF radios in Namibia.

In as far as Botswana is concerned their laws provide that each unit must be licensed. In this regard ORRA has obtained a license. The ORRA license will be used as basis to apply on behalf of our members for a temporary licence for the said member.

Members planning trips to Namibia and/or Botswana must contact our Administrator for assistance to obtain the necessary documentation. This process must be initiated at least three weeks before your date of departure.

A member will have to complete an internal application form and provide proof of payment of the relevant fees in order for the Administrator to initiate the process to either issue an additional authorisation for Namibia and/or apply for a temporary license for Botswana.

These documents must be accompanied by your ORRA User Authorisation Card when visiting these countries. The User Authorisation Card on its own will not be sufficient proof of licensing in Namibia and/or Botswana.
