ARLA/CLUSTER: Posição do regulador britânico sobre o abuso nos repetidores de amador no Reino Unido

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Ofcom and Ham Radio repeater abuse

A Freedom of Information (FoI) request was used to ask Ofcom what
action they take against Amateur Radio Repeater Abusers

The response revealed Ofcom has never prosecuted any repeater abusers
since it was created in December 2003.

When asked how many Field Enforcement Officers they had and how the
figure had changed since 2003 Ofcom said "This information is not
held".

It would also appear Ofcom don't have a clue how much money they are
spending on Amateur Radio.

In 2017 Ofcom did send two engineers from the Spectrum Management
Centre in Baldock, Hertfordshire, to Londonderry in Northern Ireland
to investigate a doorbell which was interfering with other Licence
Exemptdevices
