ARLA/CLUSTER: Só 300 radioamadores britânicos responderam até agora à revisão do licenciamento de amadores

Amateur Radio Licence Review

We held our regular meeting with Ofcom last Thursday and, as you will
know, Ofcom attended the Convention at the weekend. Feedback from
those events is that

• Only 300 or so people have responded to the consultation document so far.
• Ofcom will be relying heavily on the volume and content of the
responses as evidence of what the amateur radio community feels about
the proposals.c

Whilst we published some explanatory notes on the website soon after
the document was released, it is apparent that many amateurs have not
yet read the document which is far from straightforward in several
places.

We are thus today publishing further guidance together with suggested
responses to the key questions www.rsgb.org/ocguidance

There is now just one week before Ofcom’s consultation period ends
(20th October) and thus time is of the essence. This note is to ask
for your personal support as follows.

Please make sure that you respond to Ofcom.

Please make contact with your club chairman (if you belong to a club)
or any other amateurs that you are in contact with and urge them to do
the same.

Many thanks,

Graham Coomber, G0NBI
