I have over the last few years seen a number of Aussie hams sporting USA callsigns on web sites and online forums but I struggle to understand why people sit the FCC exam and pay the USA authority for a foreign callsign?
Can someone help me understand what it is that is so attractive to a local ham to have a USA license as well? its not like they can use any extra bands or power under that call as they are bound by the local countries rules.
my VK license gives me everything I need and more and I am not intending to visit the USA any time this side of my death
Not looking for any flames or smart answer, am genuinely curious on the motivations to do this.
