In addition, the applicants for the certificate of radio operator in the land mobile service need to provide the proof of middle school graduation (grades 5-8).
The specific users of the land mobile radiocommunications networks of private use – who need a radio operator certificate in order to operate radiocommunications stations – are both small entrepreneurs and large companies that require radio communications through their own networks. These companies operate in domains such as: industry, production, utility transport and distribution at a national level, transport, constructions and public works, agriculture, forestry, security and protection of privacy, public protection, public health, community management services etc. There are more than 16,662 valid operator certificates for the radiocommunications stations in the land mobile service.
Radio amateurism is mainly a hobby, with yet an important competitive side at a local and an international level. This enables radio amateurs to distinguish themselves within various international trials and competitions in the field. Furthermore, radio amateurism allows for: developing abilities in using the radiocommunications stations, regardless of the user’s age; knowing in-depth the phenomenon of radio propagation in various frequency bands; making and testing radiocommunications equipment, as well as participating, together with the relevant public institutions, to ensuring radiocommunications under emergency situations, a fact acknowledged nationally and internationally. In Romania there are currently more than9,170 radioamateurs authorised by ANCOM.
