Clarification on Internet-linking
NoV requirement

It appears there is some confusion regarding precisely which class or classes of Internet-linking related NoVs will lapse on 31 December 2004 unless renewed prior to that date.

Only those NoVs which have been issued to allow operation of an ‘internet gateway’ on a simplex frequency, via the RSGB Data Communications Committee, are affected at present.

Neither those NoVs which have been issued by RA or latterly Ofcom which permit Internet-linking of a repeater which has a callsign in the ‘GB3xx’ series, nor those issued by the RSGB DCC for packet radio mailboxes or digital nodes are affected at this time, and these will remain in force until further notice.

For specific queries, please e-mail your request to dcc.online@dcc.rsgb.org
