OFCOM have today announced that Phase 1 of updating the amateur radio licence framework has begun (21st February 2024) but what does this mean for the hobby in the UK and licence holders in general? Radio Oddities investigates….
I'm a tad surpirsed some are saying they dodn't know this was coming, the invitation to comment was very widely circulated in both both Social Media and Amater radio press.
Your correct! Although that’s phase 2 of the process and will be implemented before autumn 2024. I know lots aren’t keen on the 2E0 calls- they can be a bit of a mouthful.
We are all one nation, but we are not all one entity , if you are collecting ITu entities. Then England, Wales, Scotland , island of man etc all count towards your total. Why do you think people do DExpeditions to uninhabited islands.
Yes, once phase 2 is implemented I will cover these too. Stay tuned and if you havnt already please subscribe so you can get a notification as soon as the video drops 👍🏻
What I was referring to Ben the removal of Nov's for was Gateways and personal repeaters permitting 3rd party traffic, a huge change for anyone involved in digital modes. Then there are changes to Maritime and Air operating etc.
