CEPT members

RHR accepts members from countries with a CEPT agreement when CEPT signups are open. The sign-up page says so at the top when they are. CEPT accounts work a little differently from US accounts; this article explains how.

Where you can operate

CEPT members can receive on every station on the network but transmit only from stations in CEPT countries. Remote operation of a US station by a CEPT licensee is not permitted under US rules, and CEPT accounts are not given transmit permission at US stations. The CEPT stations currently on the network are in Croatia; stations in other CEPT countries appear with their prefix in the station name when they are available.

Signing up

The flow is the same as for US members (Create your account), with these differences:

• Your callsign must be from a CEPT country. If RHR cannot determine your country from the callsign, or your country is not covered, the form says so and asks you to contact support.
• The Terms and Conditions include confirming that your national license includes the CEPT Radio Amateur Licence (T/R 61-01) or the CEPT Novice Amateur Radio Licence ((05)06), that you will not transmit from any US station, and that you will always identify with the station's prefix.
• The plan is PremiumDX CEPT (Yearly), billed yearly, with a one-time airtime credit.
• The review page has an Auto-Reload section, because CEPT accounts prepay their airtime.

Prepaid airtime

CEPT accounts must keep an airtime balance that covers their usage. Airtime is deducted from the balance, never charged to your card afterwards. When the balance runs out, the console refuses new connections with Please purchase additional airtime to continue.

To avoid interruptions, set Auto-Reload to $20, $50, $100, $200 or $500. When your expected balance falls to $2.00 or less, that amount is bought automatically. You can also buy airtime at any time with Reload Airtime on your account overview. Your balance always belongs to you and is refunded on request. See Airtime credit and auto-reload.

Identification

From a CEPT station, identify with the station's prefix in front of your callsign, for example 9A/ your callsign from Croatia, unless your own callsign is already from that country. See Identifying yourself on the air.

License verification

Upload your national license within seven days of joining, like every member; choose CEPT as the license class. See Verify your license.
