Peter,
I asked this and John Gould said this:
Dom, thanks for raising the
issue of the NoV, as I guess others are keen to know where we all stand.
RSGB, at its quarterly
meeting with Ofcom last September, raised the issue
of NoV extension, as well as
requesting an increase of ERP. As you may
recall several of the
correspondents on this reflector provided me with some useful material for our
case. Ofcom commented then that they would need to gain a view from the
primary user, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, as well as wait until the outcome
of WRC-07 was known. I view that as sensible, since apart from the small
matter of RR5.83 that prohibited non-distress use of the band 495-505kHz, there
was an WRC agenda item concerning maritime use of the spectrum in this area of
interest. We had a further quarterly meeting with Ofcom last week and we were
told that they would be making an announcement concerning the matter during the
first half of February.
There is nothing that
individual NoV holders need to do apart from wait patiently!
As far as your own NoV is
concerned I suggest that you progress it again - I haven't seen the
application.
