Specifically, Ofcom will NOT recommend any options to make the amateur
radio
service WT Act licence-exempt; however, for transparency and completeness,

this will
be put forward as an option in the public consultation in order to
gather the community's views ....."


How the hell does the above translate into this...

Looks like 100 years plus of amateur radio history in the UK could soon
go the same way as the 24GHz band i.e. licence excempt - no exams, no
callsigns, just CB!


Licence exempt - with 150W DC in (400w pep) - never in a million years..
I would think every single organisation with an interest in the radio
spectrum
would object.
