Howdy. I'm not sure how to interpret the above. We are both licensed hams with advanced tickets. We routinely broadcast in the US. (we are Canadian) Does the above somehow imply that we are breaking the law? We are here about 6 months of the year on a B2 (snowbird) visa.
Thanks in advance.
For the last ~30 years there has been a treaty in effect between Canada and the U.S. giving the Hams of both countries reciprocal operating privileges.

The US and Canada share an automatic reciprocal operating agreement. US amateurs must carry proof of their US citizenship and their valid US license. Identification for US amateurs is the US call separated by a stroke and the appropriate Canadian prefix identifier (e.g. N1KB/VE3). In all other instances, or as specified by the national licensing body, the prefix goes before the call sign. For further information on US/Canadian operation, visit the RAC Web site.
