OKOSA-LISENSIËRING SOOS VERDUIDELIK DEUR NOEL, ZR6DX TYDENS DIE VIRTUELE AJV
Alle amateurs met die erfenis lisensie (ou papier lisensie) moet teen die einde van Mei 2021 op die nuwe OKOSA-aanlynstelsel registreer. Die SARL/OKOSA-werkkomitee werk saam met OKOSA om hierdie datum te verleng. Moet egter nie wag tot die laaste oomblik om te registreer nie. Jy moet registreer, selfs al sal jou huidige erfenis lisensie oor ‘n paar jaar eers verval.
Volg hierdie eenvoudige stap-vir-stap prosedure om te registreer.

3. Skep ‘n nuwe rekening, d.w.s. e-posadres en ‘n wagwoord en bevestig die wagwoord.
4. Sodra jou die registrasie indien, ontvang jy ‘n e-pos met ‘n skakel waarop jy moet klik om die registrasie te verifieer.
5. Kyk asseblief in jou Rommel-lêer as jy nie die e-pos ontvang nie.
6. Na voltooiing kan jy by die stelsel aanmeld.
7. Die eerste keer dat jy die stelsel begin gebruik, word jy gevra om ‘n regspersoon te skep deur al jou persoonlike besonderhede vas te lê.
8. Laai ‘n afskrif van jou ID-boek in die skakel onderaan die registrasie bladsy. Opmerking: slegs PDF-dokumente word aanvaar.

12. Klik op die Amend Legacy Radio Frequency License knoppie.
13. Tik in jou lisensienommer, sonder al die strepies en laai dan die HAREC- en HF-sertifikaat op. As jy nie hierdie sertifikate het nie, laai dan ‘n afskrif van jou huidige of ou lisensie in die plek van die HAREC- en HF-sertifikaat. As dit ‘n ou vervalle lisensie is, dien ook die bewys van betaling in.
14. Die Owerheid sal dan die volgende stap voltooi en aan jou terugstuur vir verifikasie.
