the band was extended for a total of 3 years it was still the policy in

make sense. Surely what was needed was a spread of experimenters covering
the North of England, Scotland and N. Ireland. But according to postings
on
the reflector the rsgb did not contemplate any more permits.
The decision not to issue any more permits was nothing at all to do with the
RSGB. It is ludicrous to suggest that the Society would work to deliberately
disadvantage any radio amateur. On the contrary, the decision to start
issuing the NoVs again was a direct result of representations by the
Society. If you don't believe me, read the RA's Press Release on their web
site.
