High-level discussions on the future of licensing

Following an invitation from the Board of Ofcom, a delegation led by the President, Jeff Smith, MI0AEX, is meeting the Vice Chairman of Ofcom, Richard Hooper, and Ofcom’s Operations Director Vic Brasco on 24 March to discuss the future direction of amateur radio licensing and the possible lead on to deregulation of amateur radio over the next five to 10 years.

The RSGB is strongly opposed to any steps that Ofcom may take to bring deregulation on to the agenda and will fight hard to maintain the status of radio amateurs and the privileges they currently enjoy.

The outcome of these discussions will be published as early as possible via this news service, the RSGB website, RadCom and other amateur radio publications.
