PLONK!
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

You just wait for one of the questions that will be published tomorrow.

Acording to Chicken Licking, yes.

This out today:

looks like fixed penalty fines (ham "speeding tickets") is on the table as
well.

The Ofcom proposal is published online at:

http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/cond...dio/aradio.pdf

Other than licensing for a lifetime rather a fixed interval, I don't
see Wireless Telegraphy Act license exemption as a desired
Ofcom proposal.

License exemption is addressed as an alternative but it is
immediately dismissed by Ofcom as impractical for
several reasons.
