G1LVN are you awake? Can you read? More to the point are you getting Hamiltons from the RSCB for writing this drivel? Try this quote from the OFCOM page :- "For the avoidance of doubt, whilst the formal public consultation will put forward a number of other options for the future, those options are explicitly not recommended by Ofcom. 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" This is the real link to the OFCOM page on the consultation:- http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/i...coming?a=87101 http://tinyurl.com/dnall Just try to read and understand it instead of spreading FUD because you cannot comprehend simple and straightforward English. OFCOM is not going to deregulate Amateur Radio in the U.K. They are going to deprive the RSGB of an expected income stream, and the beneficiaries of all the free jollies are throwing their toys out of the pram. No rational amateur can object to what OFCOM is really proposing, unless they have an ulterior motive as the RSGB hierarchy do. Andy, M1EBV |

Is the sky falling, too? Acording to Chicken Licking, yes. This out today: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/cond...dio/aradio.pdf looks like fixed penalty fines (ham "speeding tickets") is on the table as well. |

License exemption is addressed as an alternative but it is immediately dismissed by Ofcom as impractical for several reasons. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |

The subplot here is that the RSGB (now known by many of us as the RSCB) originally got the idea that deregulation meant that they could take over licensing and make loads of money. Instead, Ofcom are introducing a free lifetime licence, and so the Soceity are trying to talk us all out of saving the 15 pounds a year (US Dollars 27.29 at today's exchange rate according to XE.com) because they want the money for themselves! I've never been a member, and it isn't likely that I'll join anytime soon. 73 de Alun, G8VUK, N3KIP |
