Ok, so i have two other posts on here right now, but this one is probably the important, i've been doing shots to Army bases back in the states, however from what i have read i need to get a liscense. I need to be able to operate on the 2-30mhz freqs. If anyone can help me out with any info it would be appreciated, i'd like to be able to do some traffic from here in Quito Ecuador before i return to Fort Bragg NC.

Thanks for any information anyone can give me.

Jon,
That could be a bit problematical since you're in a foreign country, and since an amateur radio license requires some time to study for and to take the required test. I have no idea if Ecuador has a reciprocal agreement with the USA, but I would suspect that they do. That agreement would allow you to use an amateur radio license that you already hold, or get while you are there. They will also have their own requirements, so finding out what those are would be a very good idea! I also have no idea if Ecuador has an equivalent to 'CB' radio, or would allow CB radio's use there. Another good thing to find out about before hand!
You might also check with the communications department/office/Officer at your location to see if MARS is available to you. 'MARS' is a military and civilian organization that handles radio message traffic for the various branches of the military, and is free.
Sorry that isn't much help.

Ecuador does have a reciprocal agreement with the U.S. Here is the list of countries which do:

ARRLWeb: Reciprocal Operating Countries List

That means if you're a U.S. citizen, you can take the tests to get an Amateur Radio License. You need at least a General license to use the frequencies indicated. The biggest issue that you're going to have to getting the license you want is that I don't know how you're going to find a U.S. exam location there in Ecuador.

Alternatively, you can get an Ecuador Amateur Radio License while you're there. I have no idea how to tell you to go about obtaining that, though.
