LF: Amateur licensing in France (was RE: Special Research Permit extension)

[John Rabson <john.rabson@numeo.fr>]

Significant changes to the terms of the French amateur licence (including 
amendments to the frequency table) usually have to go through several parts of 
the French government which assert an interest. This has to be done in the 
right order, and can take some time.

I understand an informal approach was made (not via REF) at the time that the 
UK started issuing SRPs for 600 m, and the response boiled down to “We cannot 
discuss this until such an allocation appears in the ITU frequency tables”.

If any French subscribers to this list feel I have got it wrong, will they 
please tell me.
