No ICASA account until mid-January 2010

South Africa's regulator ICASA has confirmed that renewals for SA amateur radio licenses will only be mailed during the second week in January.

Although accounts are payable before 31 January each year, ICASA said it will not take action until the end of February.

The fee for an amateur radio license for 2010 will remain at R27.

If you insist in paying the 2010 fee before receiving an invoice, please ensure that your callsign and license number is stated in the electronic or post office payment.

Every year ICASA receives payments which cannot be allocated to the correct account as this vital information is not submitted with the payment.
