There's nothing stopping non-members from writing to Ofcom explaining
why they're non-members, and making representations as individuals (for
example, requesting a review of the current licensing scheme).

well making a gues based on how things in Americe Vsav the ARRL and FCC
the indivgual Hams are largely un willing to stand up and say something
with some kind of Occifcail scation for it, this si likly why there
were about 3000 coment the recent NPRM here in the USA out of 600,000
hams and about 300,000 arrl memebrs

I suspect that the ARRL is rather more representative of hams in the US
than the RSGB is of hams in the UK, but there's something in what you
say. By and large, citizens respond to corrupt "leaders" by working
longer hours, drinking more alcohol, and blaming the French and the
Arabs. OTOH, the opportunity is there for hams to cut out the middlemen
and tell the government agency what they want.
