Private radio communications on the occasion of large-scale events and sport competitions on the Belgian territory
The Belgian Institute for postal services and telecommunications informs all organizers and persons taking part in large-scale events and sport competitions (e.g. meetings and summits of the EU, … and rallies, motor races in Zolder, Francorchamps, motorcycle races in Spa, crossing and organisation of international cycle races, international football matches, etc.) of the fact that they have to apply beforehand and in time for a licence for the use of the private radio communication transmitting and receiving stations.
You will also find the fees to be paid on this Website. Therefore it is important to send the application form to BIPT as soon as possible (at least one month before the event). For any further information, you can phone us at the following number: + 32 2 226 88 60 (also + 32 2 226 88 61, + 32 2 226 88 62) or send us a fax at the following number: 32 2 226 87 64.
In the past few years, BIPT had observed that, due to the illegal use of not coordinated frequencies, interference had been registered several times in the traffic of the private radio communications, among which the links for vital services. The private and public national broadcasting companies can also only use frequencies authorised by BIPT.
In the interest of all radio spectrum users, BIPT hopes that all the persons in charge and the participants to large-scale events and sport competitions will scrupulously respect these directives. Otherwise, the Institute will find itself forced to intervene.
