G3ZHI gets licence to publish Callbook data

Ian G3ZHI has just received a licence from the UK regulator Ofcom, allowing him to publish the UK Amateur Radio Callbook data.

In a letter to Ian, Ofcom admit to being taken by surprise at the high level of interest in this data. Part of Ofcom's letter to Ian reads:

"Ofcom originally anticipated that a limited number of individuals would apply for this information and so had made plans to individually acknowledge each request and process the licence applications within a short period of time.

"However, Ofcom received an extremely high volume of requests for this information and hence, there has been a delay in processing each of these licences. For this reason, it has not been possible to individually contact each of the applicants, for which I apologise."

Ian says that anyone can now download the callbook data free from his website at:
