Can you operate your amateur radios on a military installation? We asked about this at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA and were referred to Army Signal Command:
Headquarters, 7th Signal Command (Theater)
423 22nd Street - Building 201715
Fort Gordon, Georgia 30905-5832
7th Signal Command responded saying the regulation governing operation of amateur radio on Army installations states "Operation and registration of Federal Communications Commission—licensed station on Army installations. Citizens band, amateur radio, taxi companies, and other radio operators that are FCC-licensed may transmit on Army installations, but will be subject to limitations imposed by the installation commander. Limitations, if any, will be published in an installation regulation. The regulation must not impose limitations so severe that they unnecessarily infringe on the rights of the individual to operate a radio according to FCC rules and regulations. Users must coordinate with the installation DNEC spectrum manager, or in the case of a CTC, users must also coordinate with the installation G–6 prior to operation of such equipment on the installation." (AR 5-12, para 5-2)
