SSA is authorized by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) to issue amateur radio callsigns.
Individuals residing in Sweden may apply for a Swedish callsign in the SA-series. To qualify for such a callsign the applicant must have passed an amateur radio certificate examination equivalent to the HAREC requirements (CEPT T/R 61‑02), either in Sweden or in one of the countries participating in T/R 61‑02.
Swedish residents, who have been issued a Swedish national ID-number (”personnummer”), and who have passed the Swedish certificate exam, can apply directly to SSA for a callsign. The administrative fee is 390 SEK (one-time), or 540 SEK including twelve months membership in SSA.
