for applications for new amateur licences or variations to existing
licences is around four weeks. Applications will be processed on a first in
time basis. These delays are unavoidable and the WIA will keep radio

RSGB: Warning Over Out of Band Signals:

It has been brought to the attention of the Amateur Radio Observation
Service that software commonly used by UK licensees for the production of
signals in both JT65 and JT9 modes, uses a default preset frequency of
5.357MHz (JT65) or 5.359MHz (JT9) in the 5 MHz band. UK licensees are
reminded that, after applying the audio offset to the AFSK signal in JT65
mode, using these presets will, in the majority of cases, cause the
transmission to fall outside of the upper band edge of the UK allocation of
5.354MHz to 5.358MHz. In the case of JT9, if the default of 5.359MHz is
used all transmissions will be outside of the UK allocation. Many examples
of this have been noted and it is imperative that these out of band
transmissions cease in order that UK licensees remain within the terms of
their Amateur Radio License.
