Hi All

Saw this message on the Yahoo reflector looks important so thought I should rebroadcast on the Alternative RSGB LF REDLECTOR since the All High RSGB Panjandrum has neglected to put it on here

Apologies if it has been on here but all my mails go to my Trash Can so could have missed it going through.......

  Apologies if you have already seen this below, but with one week to go and the 472kHz band being one of the problematic questions, see new guidance and link below on key questions and a request for ALL to respond

  Subject: URGENT AND IMPORTANT: Ofcom Licence Review 

  
  

  We held our regular meeting with Ofcom last Thursday and, as you will know, Ofcom attended the Convention at the weekend.  Feedback from those events is that
  

  • Only 300 or so people have responded to the consultation document so far.
    
  • Ofcom will be relying heavily on the volume and content of the responses as evidence of what the amateur radio community feels about the proposals.
    

   

  Whilst we published some explanatory notes on the website soon after the document was released, it is apparent that many amateurs have not yet read the document which is far from straightforward in several places. 

  
  

  We are thus today publishing further guidance together with suggested responses to the key questions  www.rsgb.org/ocguidance

   

   

  There is now just one week before Ofcom’s consultation period ends (20th October) and thus time is of the essence.  This note is to ask for your personal support as follows.

   

  • Please make sure that you respond to Ofcom.
    
  • Please make contact with your club chairman (if you belong to a club) or any other amateurs that you are in contact with and urge them to do the same.
    

   

  Many thanks,
