Welcome › Forums › Ham Radio Chat › Ofcom Licence Changes – 2023 Proposal
Ofcom has finally released its long-awaited proposal for changes to the UK amateur radio licence – there are quite a few surprises being proposed – some are more popular than others.
We have a page covering the changes here: Ofcom Proposal 2023 and there’s a video cummary here: Ofcom Proposal – Video
The Essex Ham website is running a survey that has over 200 submissions in the first 2 days – see Ofcom 2023 Proposal – Survey
So, what do we think?
i have only read the response document and a skim read through of the main doc, i need to read all 100+ pages
as with any consultation there are good and bad points, my initial reactions is there are more good points than bad
and that we all need to reply to this
to pick a few out
i like
1- foundation hams able to built kits, as this would lower the cost of entry into HF ops
2- keep only 1 personal callsign makes a lot of sense, i still have access to my M7 and 2E0 callsigns but never use them
3- the greater supervised use on radio by others, this is the best way to get new people into radio for them to actually experience it
4- internet for remote ops makes a lot of sense so long as some clear guidance on minimum security requirements
5- low power unattended beacons like WSPR and QRSS would be good as lower level license holder can start learning about propagation
i am not sure about
i don’t like
