Ofcom put online amateur radio licensing helpsheet on the web

Following the introduction of the Lifetime Amateur Radio Licence and online licensing system in December 2006, Ofcom have recently made available a guide on how to use their online system.

The comprehensive document, which runs to fifteen pages, is presented as a pdf file and has step-by-step instructions on how to use all the online features.

It includes specific instructions on the areas of the system which have caused particular confusion to radio hams, such as the need to 'edit' your details to force the system to generate your licence.

The document, entitled "User Guide for Amateur Radio Applicants", can be downloaded from the Help and Guidance section of the Ofcom web site at www.ofcom.org.uk/licensing/olc/guidance/.
