D-STAR illegal in France - update

French Amateur Radio groups are working together to get the digital prohibition in France lifted.

The French digital ham radio website (DR@F) reports:

A working group has been created with skilled people of REF-Union, ANTA, URC and DR@F. This working group will deliver to French Local Regulator, a document showing digital state of the art for ham radio communication, to obtain new experiment conditions and new rules to unblock digital prohibition in France.
