Hi John
Nice to see your still keeping watch up there (up as in north)
Well Im sure 5 will keep rolling on, but with allocations starting
to go WW , may be the experimental angle is getting a bit thin ,
funny thing I found a print out of a article last night , where I
and two other stations had the first ssb qso's when the band was
allocated , some time back now : ) from the last convention ,
visitors could of walked away , without realising there where Lf /MF
bands and one about to be free issued , however there was a 5 meg
update ..
With the retirement of R W , from ofcom , things seem to be a
little sticky in there these days , I tried to transfer the gb4fpr
nov to my keeping as the original holder is not too well these
days , only to be told yes , then no , odd as I applied for it in
the first place as overseer , having 500 nov for my station , my
name is all over the documents ..
Just have to wait and see , pity it's not formalised , could of had
a good new years party at the fort
73 -G..

Not sure what you mean G.
There's no solid info about the requeirement for applications for new NoVs
for 5MHz either. There's been no definitive statement that existing NoVs
will continue, using the newly published frequencies, or whether
(annoyingly) that new applications will be needed by all interested
parties.
Same shambles as the status of the MF allocation.
On the MF front - OFCOM publically declared a few weeks ago that their
intention was to release the new band to all UK licencees on January 1st
(without the need for NoVs) but the joint RSGB/OFCOM announcement this
week would indicate that this isn't the case.
Good job they don't run a brewery....
