I don't envisage a rash of prosecutions by Ofcom for operations outside of
licence for the sake of 11 days and a NOV holder.
I do envisage however a long stream of increasingly pedantic and argumentative
emails quoting some of the more obscure elements of the statute book.
My time will be better spent on winding a 472 coil and getting a better aerial
up.
Great news though and merry christmas and seasons greetings to all.
See you on 472 WSPR

What counts in legal terms though - a notice on the RSGB's website or
the actual document bearing OFCOM's "stamp"?
I'd say the Notice of Variation itself is what determines what is allowed.
I'd also say that the person who knocked up the web application service
made an error and the "Valid From" date should have been set, in the
software that processes the applications, to be :
"January 1st 2013 or date of application, whichever is the latest".
Nonetheless, the legal document called a Notice of Variation is quite
clear, and nowhere in the W/T act does it say you must take notice of a
few lines of text on the RSGB's website.
