Third Party traffic
I could use a little help. I'm trying to get an idea of which countries permit third party traffic (communications by an unlicesed person while under the control of a licensed operator). This is to better my understanding of who the ISS crew would be permitted to talk with other than licensed operators.
A few questions I need for your country.
1. Does your country permit third party traffic between stations within your country?
2. Does your country permit third party traffic between your station and a station outside your country?
2a. If so, which ones?
3. Does your country have a link to the regulation regarding third party traffic?

Space station crew to take brief Soyuz trip
The all-ham crew of the International Space Station will take a brief ride around the space outpost October 10. Expedition 14 Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin, RZ3FT, and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter, DF4TR, will shut down vital station systems and undock their Soyuz spacecraft from its port at the aft end of the Zvezda Service Module. "They will then take a 30-minute trip that will relocate the Soyuz to the Earth-facing docking port on the station's Zarya module," NASA said this week. "The maneuver will free Zvezda's docking port for the arrival of a new Russian Progress cargo spacecraft later this month. Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin are still settling in for their six-month stay in space. Reiter has been aboard the ISS since the summer. No Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school contacts are on the schedule until later this month.
